Morning Rain

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Life, believe, is not a dream, So dark as sages say; Oft a little morning rain Foretells a pleasant day: Sometimes there are clouds of gloom, But these are transient all; If the shower will make the roses bloom, Oh, why lament its fall? [Pre-Chorus] Gratefully, cheerily, Enjoy them as they fly. Rapidly, merrily, Life's sunny hours pass by. [Chorus] Morning rain, morning rain Why lament its fall? Morning rain, morning rain It brings the roses all Gratefully, cheerily Gratefully, cheerily [Verse 2] What though death at times steps in, And calls our Best away? What though Sorrow seems to win, O'er hope a heavy sway? Yet Hope again elastic springs, Unconquered, though it bend; It rises with a thousand wings, And finds a better end. [Bridge] So take the hour you hold, Before it slips from sight; The day can turn to gold When you lean into the light [Chorus] Morning rain, morning rain Why lament its fall? Morning rain, morning rain It brings the roses all Gratefully, cheerily Gratefully, cheerily
