If You Want the Rainbow [You Must Have the Rain] lyrics

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 boy, what a thrill!

Sadness ends in gladness

Showers are not in vain

If you want the rainbow

You must have the rain

And if you want to know the glory

Of electric light

You must learn the story

From lonely nights

Sadness ends in gladness

Showers are not in vain

If you want the rainbow

You must have the rain
