Laughing At The Rain 1931 JPitt-Payne

Storms are overhead
sunny skies have fled
thunder and lightning
shouldn't be fright'ning 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,
some day 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.

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,
some day 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.

Tho' the storms increase
soon they have to cease
stop all your fretting
it keeps upsetting you.
If you only wait
you'll appreciate
after the showers
sunshine and flowers 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,
some day 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.

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,
some day 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.
