- Verse:
- A long time a -go a mil
-lion years B. C.,
- The best things in life
were ab -so -lute -ly free,
- But no one ap -pre -ci -at
-ed a sky that was al -ways blue;
- And no one con -grat -u
-lat -ed a moon that was al -ways new.
- So it was planned that they
would van -ish now and then And you must pay be -fore you get
them back a -gain:
- That's what storms were
made for And you should -n't be a -fraid, for....
-
- Chorus:
- Ev -'ry time it rains, it
rains Pen -nies From Heav -en.
- Don't you know each cloud
con -tains, Pen -nies From Heav -en.
- You'll find your for -tune
fall -ing, All o -ver town,
- Be sure that your um -brel
-la is up side down.
- Trade them for a pack -age
of, Sun -shine and flow -ers.
- If you want the things you
love, You must have show -ers.
- So when you hear it thun
-der, Don't run un -der a tree.
- There'll be Pen -nies From
Heav -en for you and me.
