APRIL SHOWERS BRING MAY FLOWERS
(Leo Wood / Nat & Jack Shilkret,   1920)


When the whole world seems so drear, 
And above dark clouds appear, 
And your heat seems filled with fear,
Don't feel sad and blue; 
Think how nice it soon will be,
When the sun shines cheerfully, 
Try it and I know you'll see 
What I say is true!

Happiness was meant for you, 
Seek it and you'll find it too,
Then your life will start a new, 
Wonderful 'twill be; 
Sorrow was not meant to stay, 
Just to come and go away 
Tho' it finds us all some day, 
Still you'll surely see:

April showers bring May flowers, 
And sweet bowers, where roses twine; 
Now I know too, I can show you, 
That it's so too all the time, 
If the sunshine came at one time, 
All the fun time would soon be through; 
April showers bring May flowers, 
So just wait 'till love comes to you.
