"If You Want The Rainbow (You Must Have The Rain)" lyrics

"If You Want The Rainbow (You Must Have The Rain)"
(feat. Vince Giordano and The Nighthawks)
(from "Boardwalk Empire" soundtrack)


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
Ooh, oh boy what a thrill!

Sadness ends in gladness, showers are not in vain
If you want the rainbow, you must have the rain

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
Ooh, what a thrill!

Sadness ends in gladness, showers are not in vain
If you want the rainbow, you must have the rain
