It Takes A Little Rain With The Sunshine To Make The World Go Round

It Takes A Little Rain With The Sunshine To Make The World Go Round
Composer(s): Ballard MacDonald; Harry Carroll



A dear little girl and a dear little boy looked out at the drizzling rain
and tears filled her eyes and ran down her cheeks, like the drops on the window pane
so he said: "Don't you cry, you will see bye and bye
that a rainbow bright will shine on high
there are always rain clouds in the sky, and I'll tell you sweetheart why"

The dear little girl and the dear little boy grew up as most children do
and one summer day they went wandering away, on the road that makes one of two
she was sweet he was good, and they loved as they should
till a dark cloud came, do what they could
but she said she'd make up if he would, for she always understood

'Cause it takes a little rain with the sunshine
like the tear drops come with the smiles
but the troubles never come all at one time
just wait a little while, remember, flowers couldn't grow without rain, dear
happiness we share with the pain, dear
'cause it takes a little rain with the sunshine to make the world go around
