"The Rainbow Connection"


Recently we had a really blue day. Mid-day my husband and went to a local favorite restaurant hoping to turn our blues around. As we sat at the bar waiting for out table "The rainbow connection" played in the background -- It brought a smile to my face, as it is another song that really resonates in my heart everytime I hear it.


In memory of Lorenzo. We love you dear sweet boy...


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 every wish would be heard and answered When wished on the morning star?Somebody thought of that, and someone believed it,And look what it's done so far.What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing 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 have you heard voices?I've heard them calling my name.... Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors?The voice might be one and the sameI'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.

Laa, da daa dee da daa daa,La laa la la laa dee daa doo...
