Pennies from Heaven lyrics

Back a long long time ago, a million years BC

All the best things in this 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 would vanish now and then

And we must pay before we get them back again

That's what storms were made for

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

Make sure that your umbrella is upside down

Will ya trade it for a package of sunshine and flowers

If you want the things you love, well, 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 for me

(Pennies from heaven)

(Pennies from heaven)

You'll find your fortune falling all over town

Be sure that your umbrella is upside down

Won't ya trade it for a package of sunshine and flowers

If you want the things you love, child, 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 for me

(Pennies from heaven)
