A Rainbow Ain't Nothin' But Colored Light
We splashed each other in baths,
Our mamas used to say.
Under the willow tree out back,
We whispered our dreams.
Yeah, we whispered our dreams...
Sharin' meltin' ice cream cones,
On sweet, sunny afternoons.
Breakin' free from this dead ol' town,
When school ends come June.
Oh, it couldn't come too soon...
But the real world ain’t so simple,
Workadays, and passing time.
Woke one mornin' to a note,
You could no longer be mine.
Oh, you would no longer be mine...
A rainbow ain't nothin',
But colored light, I'm told.
If all ya find in the end,
Is a potful of fool's gold.
Yeah, a rainbow ain't nothin',
But colored light, I'm told.
If all ya find in the end,
Is a potful of fool's gold.
Heard from a friend of a friend,
You became a bride not long ago.
Held my breath for a time, then
Drove back to that ol' willow.
Got nothing much to show...
Stood all alone in its shadow.
Wonderin' if ya thought of me.
Remember me kissin' your lips,
Or makin' love 'neath this tree?
Makin' love 'neath the tree...
My mama used to warn me,
Love's blind but sure ain't fair.
Even the best of well-wished plans,
Can take a bad turn and go nowhere.
Yeah, love sure ain't fair...
A rainbow ain't nothin',
But colored light, I'm told.
If all ya find in the end,
Is a potful of fool's gold.
Yeah, a rainbow ain't nothin',
But colored light, I'm told.
If all ya find in the end,
Is a potful of fool's gold.
