What does it matter
If rain comes your way
And raindrops patter
All day?
The rain descending
Should not make you blue
The happy ending
Is waiting for you
Take your share of trouble
Face it and don't complain
If you want the rainbow
You must have the rain
Happiness comes double
After a little pain
If you want the rainbow
You must have the rain
What if your love affair should break up
As they sometimes will?
When you kiss and make up
Oh boy, what a thrill!
Sadness ends in gladness
Showers are not in vain
If you want the rainbow
You must have the rain
And if you want to know the glory
Of electric light
You must learn the story
From lonely nights
Sadness ends in gladness
Showers are not in vain
If you want the rainbow
You must have the rain
