Story Behind The Song
My very cute, 8 year old grandson has a crush on an older woman (she's 10). He actually came up with the song concept and wrote the entire first verse. He asked me to make a song out of it so I just incorporated his thoughts into a song about wishful thinking.

Lyrics
Why Can't We Live in a Rainbow
By Will McCullough & Randy Bishop (ASCAP), Copyright 2006
Why can't we live in a rainbow
Why can't we see each other
Why can't we end this story with me and you
Why can't we play with one another
Why can't we sit in the same room
Why can't we stay together
Why can't we live in a rainbow
Just you and I
Chorus:
Cause if we lived in a rainbow
We'd be up so high
We'd have colors all around
And sunshine everywhere
Clouds passing by
And if we lived in a rainbow
We'd have more time for each other
Let's go live in a rainbow
Just you and I
Let's go live in a rainbow
All the time
Bridge:
Have you ever heard about that pot of gold
They say you're supposed to find
But I don't need money or gold or jewels
As long as you are mine
