Lyrics
Rainbow Connection
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Just after the storm breaks
With the perfect amount of light
You can catch a glimpse of magic
If the timing is right
Rainbows are improbable, beautiful, and rare
But so are you, and so is this, the love that we share
Too vast to hold, and too small to name
It's no wonder why
You have to stand between the rain and the sun
To see a rainbow in the sky
All the things that had to go right
All the things that had to go wrong
That lead us to the place where we were going all along
Right now they fall away
Right now it's just us two
Right now we make a promise
If you do, then I do too
Don't know how we found it
But we did somehow
All the moments of our lives
Were leading up to now
I used to feel uncertain
But now I realize
When I wanna see my future
I just look into your eyes
Too vast to hold, and too small to name
It's no wonder why
You have to stand between the rain and the sun
To see a rainbow in the sky
All the things that make you - you
All the things that make me - me
That lead us to the place where we were always meant to be
Right now they fall away
Right now it's just us two
Right now we make a promise
If you do, then I do too
A rainbow doesn't choose to be a rainbow
It just shines in the sky
And there's nothing to debate
And there's nothing to deny
Love might be a privilege
But marriage is right
So to all of you detractors
Who don't know you've lost the fight
To all of you in the darkness
We're here turning on the lights
Now I stand with you
For the world to see
My love, my dreams, and me
My love, my dreams, and me
Right now they fall away
Right now it's just us two
Right now we make a promise
If you do, then I do too
