Storms are overhead, sunny skies have fled
Thunder and lightning shouldn’t be frightening you
Rain is falling fast, but it cannot last
You’ll see the rain go, you’ll see the rainbow, too

Smile awhile, and stop repining
Better times must come again
Till the sun commences shining
Just keep laughing at the rain

Don’t forget that each tomorrow
Brings a hope that’s not in vain
Be like me and hide your sorrow
Just keep laughing at the rain

Take a tip from me, use philosophy
Life is just what you make it
Someday you’ll be glad
That you had my advice
So take it

Then you’ll see your silver lining
Better times must come again
Till the sun commences shining
Just keep laughing at the rain.

(Musical Break)

Till the sun commences shining
Just keep laughing at the rain
