Story behind the song

This song which is now in Public Domain was written in 1921 and first sung by Al Jolson in "Bombo". Later it was covered by Bing Crosby in the 1940's. It will take us back to simpler times when problems could be whisked away with a good tune and a positive thought.

Lyrics

Life is not a highway strewn with flowers
Still it holds a goodly share of bliss
When the sun gives way to April showers
Here's what Jolson told us not to miss

Though April showers
May come your way
They bring the flowers
That bloom in May
 
So if it's raining
Have no regrets
Because it isn't raining rain, you know
It's raining violets
 
And when you see clouds
Upon the hills
You soon will see crowds
Of daffodils
So keep on looking for a (that) bluebird
And listening for his song
Whenever April showers come along
