Lyrics
Rainbow, Look me up look me down, rainbow,
You were fun to have around
I was dreamin’, Of the love I had to share,
Never thinkin’, You were here you were there
Not a word, not a sound,
Could see or even feel the ground
A pot of gold, I was sold,
By the way you let it fly
Rainbow, Look me up look me down, rainbow,
You were fun to have around
I was dreamin’, Of the love I had to share,
Never thinkin’, You were here you were there
Rainbow, Look me up look me down, Rainbow,
You were fun to have around
Now I’m changing, for the better for the day,
Feel like singing all the colors you convey
Come on home, Keep me warm,
And love me till the new day’s born
And I pray, You will stay,
Forever in my eyes
Rainbow, Look me up look me down, rainbow,
You were fun to have around
I was dreamin’, Of the love I had to share,
Never thinkin’, You were here you were there
