[VERSE 1]
As we travel on through this world
Lots of changes come our way
But I know you’ll always be my girl
And I’ll be yours forever and a day
[Chorus]
Cause rainbows only happen when you’re there
Drifting through the clouds up in the air
You and I we must be just the same
We come and go like rainbows in the rain
[VERSE 2]
I’ve seen the lightning from the sky
Thunder echoes all around
But I’ll always know that you and I
Have a special luck that we have found
[Chorus]
Cause rainbows only happen when you’re there
Drifting through the clouds up in the air
You and I we must be just the same
We come and go like rainbows in the rain
[VERSE 3]
People come and often they will go
Like pebbles being washed along the sand
If there’s one thing that I’ll always know
We have the future right here in our hands
[FINAL Chorus]
Cause rainbows only happen when you’re there
Drifting through the clouds up in the air
You and I we must be just the same
We come and go like rainbows in the rain
We come and go like rainbows in the rain
