Verse:

Life is not a highway strewn with flowers,

Still it holds a goodly share of bliss,

When the sun gives way to April showers,

Here's the point that you should never miss.

 

Chorus:

Though April Showers, may come your way,

They bring the flowers, that bloom in May,

So if it's raining, have no regrets

Because it isn't raining rain you know, (It's raining violets,)

And where you see clouds, upon the hills,

You soon will see crowds, of daffodils,

So keep on looking for a bluebird, And list'ning for his song,

When ever April Showers come a long.
