Pennies From Heaven

A long time ago, a million years BC The best things in life were absolutely free But no one appreciated a sky that was always blue And no one congratulated a moon that was always new So it was planned that they would 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 falling all over town Be 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 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 --- Pennies from Heaven - Louis Armstrong
