Pennies from Heaven

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

Let a Smile be Your Umbrella

Just let a smile be your umbrella,
On a rainy, rainy day . . .
And if your sweetie cries, just tell her,
That a smile will always pay . . .

Whenever skies are gray,
Don't you worry or fret,
A smile will bring the sunshine,
And you'll never get wet!

So, let a smile be your umbrella,
On a rainy, rainy day . . .

You're right. Sand only blasts off the paint; it doesn't leave any dents.

Blue Skies Lyrics
Artist(Band):Irving Berlin

I was blue, just as blue as I could be
Ev'ry day was a cloudy day for me
Then good luck came a-knocking at my door
Skies were gray but they're not gray anymore

Blue skies
Smiling at me
Nothing but blue skies
Do I see

Bluebirds
Singing a song
Nothing but bluebirds
All day long

Never saw the sun shining so bright
Never saw things going so right
Noticing the days hurrying by
When you're in love, my how they fly

Blue days
All of them gone
Nothing but blue skies
From now on

Attention: CBS announces they'd Rather have someone else.

Pack up your pajamas in your old kit-bag,
And smile, smile, smile,
While you’ve exposed the CBS brag,
Smile, boys, that’s the style.
What’s the use of worrying?
Rather never was worth while, so
Pack up your pajamas in your old kit-bag,
And smile, smile, smile.

Thanks, except I'm finding it easier to sing if you remove the word "up" in "Pack up" and just sing "Pack your pajamas...."

And this after all the lessons you've taught me. I don't know what to say. It's sooo embarrassing.

I just ran over to Subway and got a salad. It's been raining pretty good here last night and this morning and afternoon. On the way back, it had cleared up and there was the nicest rainbow.

Well, I got back home and grabbed my camera, hoping to get a pic of it. It wasn't in it's full blown glory when I snapped the pics, but I'm hoping they came out okay.

If they did, I'm gonna upload and post it here in a bit. :^)
