Judy Collins - The Rainbow Connection Lyrics






Why are there so many songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions but only illusions
And rainbows have nothing to hide

So we've been told and some choose to believe it
I know they're wrong, wait and see
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me

Who said that every wish would be heard and answered
When wished on the morning star?
Somebody thought of that and someone believed it
Look what it's done so far

What's so amazing that keeps us star gazing
And what do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me

All of us under it's spell
We know that it's probably magic

Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name
Is this the sweet sound that calls all the sailors?
The voice might be one and the same

I've heard it too many times to ignore it
It's something that I'm supposed to be
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me

La la la la, la la la
The lovers, the dreamers and me

    I like Judy Collins and I like that song. I just don't like them together.

  5. R.... S....

    This song reflects the genius of it's author Paul Williams some one who should be remembered as Gershwin or Cole porter

    I was wondering if this channel was created by Judy Collins. If not it is a wonderful tribute to a national treasure. The Rainbow Connection has been covered by many people since it's release in 1979. I Believe Judy's version is the first studio version of the track recorded after the Muppet Movie in which Kermit (Jim Henson) sings the song. An unlikely hit which went to number 25 on the billboard hot 100 in 1979. For me Judy's version is the best version of the track. Her voice has a way of taking you to many places in 3 minutes and 53 seconds. So peaceful, hopeful and full of wonder. Simply Beautiful! Everyone should hear and know this wonderful recording.

    Music4allofU as one who recently fell in love with this song after hearing Maddie Poppe sing it on American Idol, I do not disagree with your assessment.
    Although I love Maddie's version dearly, this is amazing!

    Thank you for loading this.  This version of The Rainbow Connection is so poignant  because of Judy Collins' crystal clear soprano.  I feel like I am wrapped in a magical world and safe from harm enveloped within Judy's beautiful ethereal version of this song. She makes it her own and it is truly the best cover of RC ever in my opinion.

    N.... A....

    I think she is more of mezzo with a light quality.
