Lyrics on a Sunday Evening

The Rainbow Connection
Words and Lyrics by Paul Williams and Kenny Ascher
Why are there so many songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions
And rainbows have nothing to hide
So we've been told, and some choose to believe it
I know they're wrong, wait and see

Someday we'll find it, the Rainbow Connection
The lovers, the dreamers, and me.

Who said that ev'ry wish would be heard and answered
When wished on the morning star?
Somebody thought of that, and someone believed it
Look what it's done so far.
What's so amazing that keeps us star gazing
And what do we think we might see?

Someday we'll find it, the Rainbow Connection
The lovers, the dreamers, and me

All of us under its spell,
We know that it's probably magic.
Have you been half asleep and heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name
Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors
I know it's one and the same
I've heard it too many times to ignore it
It's something that I'm s'posed to be

Someday we'll find it, the Rainbow Connection
The lovers, the dreamers, and me.
