1. Life is not a highway strewn with flowers;
Still it holds a goodly share of bliss.
When the sun gives way to April showers,
Here's the point that you should never miss:

CHORUS: Though April showers
May come your way,
They bring the flowers
That bloom in May;
So if it's raining, have no regrets,
Because it isn't raining rain, you know; it's raining violets.
And where you see clouds
Upon the hills,
You soon will see crowds
Of daffodils;
So keep on looking for a bluebird and list'ning for his song,
Whenever April showers come along.

2. I have learned to smile when skies are gloomy.
Smile although my heart's about to break,
When I know that trouble's coming to me,
Here's the happy attitude I take: CHORUS
