Frank Sinatra - Pennies From Heaven Lyrics

Frank Sinatra Lyrics

"Pennies From Heaven"

Every time it rains, it rains pennies from heaven
Don't you know each cloud contains pennies from heaven?
You'll find your fortune's fallin' all over the 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

[lengthy instrumental-sax solo and then brass]

Every time, every time it rains, it's gonna rain pennies from heaven
Don't you know every cloud contains lots of pennies from heaven
You'll find your fortune's fallin', baby, all over the town
Be sure, 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've got to have showers
So, when you hear it thunder, don't run under a tree
There'll be pennies from heaven for you and me

The song reflects the history and the mood of 1930s during the Great Depression.

Frank Sinatra recorded the song for the first time with Nelson Riddle for his "Songs for Swingin' Lovers!" album (1956) and again with Count Basie for "Sinatra–Basie: An Historic Musical First" (1962).
