Annette Hanshaw - If You Want The Rainbow

What does it matter if rain comes your way
And raindrops patter all day
For rain descending should not make you blue
The happy ending is waiting for you.

Take your share of troubles
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 breakup
As they sometimes will
When you kiss and makeup
Boy, what a thrill.

Sadness ends in gladness
Showers are not in vain
If you want the rainbow
You must have the rain.

Look for brighter weather
Or watch for the sun again
If you want the rainbow
Then you must have the rain.

Pull yourself together
Whistle a happy strain
If you want the rainbow
Then you must have the rain.

So if your lucky star deserts you
And if shadows fall
Even though it hurts you
Laugh through it all.

Be a cheerful looser
You have the world to gain
If you want the rainbow
Why you just must have the rain.

That's all!
