[Verse 1]
A dear little girl and a dear little boy
looked out at the drizzling rain,
And the 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:"

[Chorus]
'Cause it takes a little rain with the sunshine,
Like the tear drops came 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 round.

[Verse 2]
The dear little girl and the dear little boy
grew up as most children do,
And one summerday they went wand'ring 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's make up if he would,
For she'd always understood:

[Chorus]
