Rainbow

"Rainbow" might not yield lots of songs, and "chance" might be slim, so have two today, but don't play twice in a row on "chance" or "rainbow" unless it's September 18 or later. You might want to see those other rainbow photos at the link below, too.

To Sally for:
Butterfly in the sky
I can go twice as high
Take a look
It's in a book
A Reading Rainbow

It's not always rainbows and butterflies
It's compromise that moves us along

She combs her hair
She's like a rainbow

Somewhere over the rainbow,
way up high,
birds fly over the rainbow,
Why, tell me why can't I

the rainbow connection,
the lovers, the dreamers and ME

There's no sign of the morning coming,
You've been left on your own,
Like a Rainbow in the Dark.

Turning your promise into a rainbow.

Red and Yellow and Pink and Green

Sing a rainbow, too

Marty reminded me of this one:

Many colors in the homo rainbow
Don't be afraid to let your colors shine....

Up above the streets and houses, rainbow climbing high.
Everyone can see it smiling over the sky.
Paint the whole world with a rainbow.

Ah!! I cannot believe I didn't think of Reading Rainbow. That is one great song. If I can find it, I'll put it on the main post.

Take good care of my baby
Don't you ever make her cry
Just let your love surround her
Paint rainbow all around her
Don't let her see a cloudy sky

I'm always chasing rainbows
Watching clouds drifting by
My schemes are just like all my dreams
Ending in the sky

Some fellows look & find the sunshine
But I always look and find the rain
Some fellows make a winning sometime
I never even make a gain--
Believe me

I'm always chasing rainbows
Waiting to find a little bluebird
In vain.

(Carroll/McCarthy, 1918)

Who's bending down to give me a rainbow
Everyone knows it's Windy

You've got that rainbow feel
But the rainbow has a beard
(and then Eric Clapton's guitar...)
