A Rainbow Ain't Nothin' But Colored Light
We splashed each other in baths,
Our mamas used to say.
Under the willow out back, you whispered,
We'll be married one day.
Yes, we'd be married one day...
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.
A friend of a friend said you,
Became a bride not long ago.
Held my breath for a time, then
Spent hours at that ol' willow.
Got nothing much to show...
Just sat alone in its shadow.
Wonderin' if ya thought of me.
Remember me kissin' your lips,
And makin' love 'neath this tree?
Makin' love 'neath the tree...
Mama often said to me,
Love's blind but sure ain't fair.
Even the best of well meant plans,
Take a wrong turn to 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.
