[Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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, For ever in my eyes [Chorus]
