A Rainbow Ain't Nothin' But Colored Light
Splashed each other in baths,
Our mothers used to say.
Under a willow, you promised me,
We'd be married one day.
Sharing melting ice cream cones,
On sweet sunny afternoons.
Breaking free from this sleepy town,
When school ends next June.
But the real world ain’t so simple,
Workadays and quiet dull time.
Woke up one mornin' to a note,
That you would no longer be mine.
A rainbow ain't nothin',
But colored light, I'm told.
If all ya find at the end,
Is a pot full 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 pot full of fool's gold.
Today a friend of a friend mentioned,
You‘d become a bride not long ago.
Had to catch my breath for a moment,
Took a drive to visit that old willow.
Spent a long day sitting in its shadow.
Wondering if you ever thought of me.
Ever remember me kissing your cheek,
Or scratching our names into this tree?
A rainbow ain't nothin',
But colored light, I'm told.
If all ya find at the end,
Is a pot full 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 pot full of fool's gold.
