Lyrics
OUR RAINBOWS HAVE DIFFERENT COLORS
Fran Powers ? BMI Doug Irving
Rubato intro:
There?s always been a pot of gold that I expect to find. But I can?t see your rainbow. .and you just can?t see mine.
Chorus:
OUR RAINBOWS HAVE DIFFERENT COLORS
Our dreams are so far apart.
I don?t expect you to follow my rainbow
When you can?t even see where it starts.
Verse 1:
We?ve both been walking side by side
But headed different places.
And when we look in people?s eyes (in each other?s eyes)
We each see different faces.
Now I?m not saying who?s to blame
Not one way or the other.
OUR RAINBOWS JUST HAVE DIFFERENT COLORS.
Chorus:
OUR RAINBOWS HAVE DIFFERENT COLORS
Our dreams are so far apart
I don?t expect you to follow my rainbow
When you can?t ever see where it starts.
Verse 2:
Two different ways of looking
At exactly the same thing.
What seems out of place to you
Fits in my color scheme.
We? looking out of eyes alike,
So sad when we discover...
OUR RAINBOWS JUST HAVE DIFFERENT COLORS.
Repeat chorus as above.
