A long time ago
A million years BC
the best things in life are 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 must vanish now and then
and you must pay to 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 fallin'
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
