Pennies From Heaven

A long time ago, about a million years B.C. The best things in life were absolutely free. But no one appreciated a sky that was always blue And no one anticipated a moon that was always new. So it was planned that they should vanish now and then And you must pay before you get them back again. That's what storms were made for And you shouldn't be afraid for: Every time it rains, it rains, pennies from heaven Don't you know each cloud contains pennies from heaven? You'll find your fortune's fallin' all over the town Make sure that your umbrella is upside down Trade them for a package of sunshine and flowers If you want the things you love, you must have showers So, when you hear it thunder, don't run under a tree There'll be pennies from heaven for you and me Every time it rains, it rains pennies from heaven Don't you know each cloud contains pennies from heaven? You'll find your fortune's fallin' all over the town Make sure that your umbrella is upside down Trade them for a package of sunshine and flowers If you want the things you love, you must have showers So, when you hear it thunder, don't run under a tree There'll be pennies from heaven for you and me So take a big deep breath of the clean fresh air Put a smile on your face be a millionaire The streets outside Are paved with gold There'll be pennies from heaven for you and me --- Pennies from Heaven - Mel Tormé
