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 Oh, 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 Oh, what a thrill Sadness ends in gladness Showers are not in vain If you want the rainbow You must have the rain *
