Verse:

Life is not a high -way strewn with flow -ers,

Still it holds a good -ly share of bliss,

When the sun gives way to A -pril show -ers,

Here's the point that you should nev -er miss.

 

Chorus:

Though A -pril Show -ers may come your way,

They bring the flow -ers, that bloom in May,

So if it's rain -ing, have no re -grets

Be -cause it is -n't rain -ing rain you know, (It's rain -ing vi -o -lets,)

And where you see clouds, up -on the hills,

You soon will see crowds, of daf -fo -dils,

So keep on look -ing for a blue -bird And list' -ning for his song,

When ev -er A -pril Show -ers come a long.
