Sarah Vaughan - 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 |
|

|
|
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 |
