Dr. Hook - Sing Me A Rainbow Lyrics






Josie it's been a long hard day
Down the road to where it's at I must have lost my way
When I got there they said I was too late
Now you're the only one can get me straight

So won't you sing me a rainbow Josie roll me a song
Just tonight make it right 'cause it's been wrong for oh so long
There's lots of shades of darkness, Josie deep inside a man
So sing me a rainbow if you can

The train I went to meet had come and gone
Seems like I spend all my time gettin' off and gettin' on
I sold my mind and gave my dreams away
And tomorrow I'll start lookin' 'round for yesterday

But 'til then sing me a rainbow Josie roll me a song
Just tonight make it right 'cause it's been wrong for oh so long
There's lots of kinds of hunger Josie you don't understand
So sing me a rainbow if you can

If you can, if you can
Sing me a rainbow if you can

    Josey I think of you and this song everyday. I hope you are "up there" and having fun. Save a place for me. Its been a couple
    of years now and the tears still flow easily....if only we could go back....

  33. A.... B....

    I'm a big fan of Dr. Hook, and have been for 30+ years. It is the first time I heard this one. Really great.  I found it on my MP3-drive tonight (04:00 am :-) ), searching my PC for the word "Rainbow" :-) It was immedately placed in the folder "My favourites".
     P.s. You have missed the line "And tomorrow I'll start lookin' 'round for yesterday", after "I sold my mind and gave my dreams away."

  34. G.... H....

    I was looking for something else when I found this song. I've never heard it before. Holy SHIT this guy's voice has character. And the production quality of the mix, it's fantastic. I'm glad I accidentally found this.

    G.... H....

    I love his voice and HIM

  35. G.... H....

    Just fabulous!

  36. G.... H....

    it's called 2 seconds from death with feeling, you mean it

  37. M.... C....

    dennis does that certain thing to make his voice have the effect of crying. I forgot what its called but I think Olivia newton john did it to. he does it the best I ever herd. they can go from laughing hysterically to deep emotion. stunning sounds from all these guys.

  38. S.... ....

    Seriously the most emotional vocalist ever.

  39. M.... W....

    I am sorry Mads, glad you found a great song, to lift your heart.

  40. D.... H....

    Thank you,All there songs were great.Good stuff!!

  41. k.... ....

    I just can't say enough awesome things about this mans voice. I was born in the late 80's and this is probably my all time favorite band, way be for my time, but emotion knows no age.

  42. O.... V....

    This is one song that I used to play when I needed time to myself. I love Dr. Hook. I know Ray Sawyer and Billy Francis personally, but never met Dennis. I would love to meet him one day, but I doubt that will happen. A man can dream. Thanks for posting this one. I have this on album, CD, karaoke, and mp3, but it was nice to look it up tonight and hear it. Thanks again!

  43. M.... H....

    I wan't to dedicade this song to my cousin Martin who past away today. We allways heard this song together! Rest in peace! You will always be remembered!

  44. l.... e....

    Hehe, and for a job ?

  45. D.... ....

    12 - And tomorrow, I'll start looking 'round for yesterday

  46. C.... ....

    So did Shel Silverstein write this?

  47. J.... R....

    I was named after this song =]
    But sadly, people either think i'm named after the Pussycat dolls, or the outlaw Josey Wales =[
    Beautiful song <3

  48. M.... J....

    i was named josie after this song =)

  49. p.... ....

    this is one of my favorite albums i've ever owned wish i could find it again and this song used to drive the girls crazy love it lol

  50. S.... N....

    Üks lahe laul minevikust!

  51. g.... ....

    My opinion, Dennis Locorriere's unique voice and talent is second to none, and that includes Elvis and Sinatra. Please spend some time listening to him on YouTube, and you will see what I am saying. I'm not talking about charisma or his stage presence or name recognition. But his beautiful voice and delivery. Dennis never misses a word or a note. Perfection.

    g.... ....

    so true

    g.... ....

    I wasn't a fan of either..love me my Dennis
