Pennies From Heaven - Mel Torme

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.
