"Look to the Rainbow"
from "Finian's Rainbow"
On the day I was born
Said my father, said he -
I've an elegant legacy waiting for ye;
'Tis a rhyme for your lips
And a song for your heart
To sing it whenever the world falls apart.
Look, look, look to the rainbow;
Follow it over the hill and stream;
Look, look, look to the rainbow,
Follow the fellow who follows the dream.
'Twas a sumptuous gift to bequeath to a child.
Oh, the lure of that song kept my feet running wild.
For you never grow old and you never stand still
With a whippoorwill singing beyond the next hill.
Chorus....
So, I bundled me heart,
And I roamed the world free,
To the east with the lark
To the west with the sea.
And I searched all the world
And I scanned all the skies.
But I found it at last
In my own true love's eyes.
Look, look, look to the rainbow
Follow it over the hill and stream
Look, look, look to the rainbow;
Follow the fellow who follows the dream
Follow the fellow, follow the fellow -
Follow the fellow, who follows the dream!
