Pennies from heaven
Don't you know each cloud contains
Pennies from heaven?
You'll find your fortune's falling
All over the town
Make sure that your umbrella'sUpside down
Trade them for a package of rainbows and sunshine and flowers
If you want to buy the things you love, you gonna need them showers
So when you hear it thunder, don't go running under a tree
There will be pennies from heaven
For you and me
So when you hear it thunder, don't run under a tree
There will be pennies from heaven
Pennies from heaven
There will be pennies from heaven for you and me

If your able to, tilt your screen back to get a darker color if you want to read what's on the label. This is the lowest I could get the Gamma with it still readable. For Mobile users, try lowering your brightness.
