Midnight Rainbows/It Got Away Lyrics

[Part I: Midnight Rainbows]

[Verse 1]
You know, if I could
I would change all my bad into good
Lord, if we should've walked this road together
Side by side, mm-hmm

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, we should have shared this load together
And we never found the time to do
All the things that are done by two

[Chorus]
’Cause God only knows
Why a good man goes
Chasin' midnight rainbows
Midnight rainbows, yeah

[Verse 2]
It's so strange
Seem like the only thing permanent is change, yeah
We could’ve walked this way together
Side by side, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Lord, we could have found that place together
Where they tell me of an uncloudy day
Where troubles seem to melt away

[Chorus 2]
But God only knows
Why a good man goes
Chasin' midnight rainbows
Whoa, fantasy midnight rainbows

[Part II: It Got Away]

[Verse 3]
Well, the saddest thing I ever heard
Was just the common little word "Goodbye"
But it's better far than holdin' on
To somethin' that we know is gone on by

[Pre-Chorus]
Well now, don't it kinda make you sad
When you watch a good love go bad
Right before your eyes?
What a cruel surprise
When you lose a good thing

[Chorus]
We had it, but it got away
Talkin' 'bout the love that we knew yesterday
The world was ours
Sunshine and flowers
But now it’s goin’, goin', goin’, gone
It got away
It got away
It got, mm

[Verse 4]
You know, there's nothin' I could say or do
Could ever mean a thing to you anymore
No use in beggin' you to stay
I know that you would only say "What for"?

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, now, now, don’t it just break your heart
When you see my whole world fall apart
Right before your eyes?
Ah, what a cruel surprise
When you lose a good thing

[Chorus]
We had it, but it got away
Talkin' 'bout the love that we knew yesterday
The world was ours
Sunshine and flowers
But now it's goin', goin', goin', gone
It got away
It got away

[Segue]
We better hold on to what we've got, now
Mm-hmm

[Part III: Midnight Rainbows reprise]

[Verse 5]
Now, we're free
To be what we want to be, yeah
Why don't we walk along together
You and I? yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't, don't you know we belong together
To make one another smile
If only for a little while?

[Chorus]
'Cause God only knows
Why a good man goes
Chasin' midnight rainbows
Lord, fantasy midnight rainbows
