THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE WERE ABSOLUTELY FREE

Un recuerdo a Bing Crosby en su 112 aniversario natal con este fragmento de "The Bing Crosby Show" (15-2-1964) donde el inolvidable crooner interpreta Pennies from heaven, una muy popular canción con música de Arthur Johnston y letra de Johnny Burke estrenada en la película del mismo título que en 1936 dirigió Norman Z. McLeod.

Pennies from heaven (lyrics)

A long time ago
A million years BC
The best things in life
Were absolutely free.
But no one appreciated
A sky that was always blue.
And no one congratulated
A moon that was always new.
So it was planned that they would vanish now and them
And you must pay before you get them back again.
That's what storms were made for
And you shouldn't be afraid for

Every time it rains it rains
Pennies from heaven.
Don't you know each cloud contains
Pennies from heaven.
You'll find yor fortune falling
All over town.
Be sure that your umbrella is upside down.
Trade them for a package of sunshine and flowers.
If you want the things you love
You must have showers.
So when you hear it thunder
Don't run under a tree.
There'll be pennies from heaven for you and me.
