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 them |
|
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 yor 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. |
