Paul Williams - 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
If wished on the morning star
Somebody thought of that and someone believed it
Look what it's done so far
And what's so amazing that keeps us stargazing
And what do you think we might see

Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me

All of us wonder its 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 the young sailors
The voice might be one in 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

  4. M.... I....

    Underrated!

  5. S.... ....

    Dunno about him not being an actor. The last 20 seconds of his appearance on "Babylon 5" was one of the most eloquent moments in TV history.

  6. G.... D....

    J.... S....

    WOW that's awesome I'm loving it so much

  12. T.... T....

    I have the same reaction as Paul here whenever people ask me "what's the story behind that song that makes you cry like a little boy?" and I say "It was my mom's favorite song... and it was performed by Kermit the Frog".

  13. T.... ....

    I"m very old and it's STILL my favorite song !!!

  14. m.... h....

    hall of famer...

  15. J.... W....

    Difference betwee a comment maker and an artist-artists dont make art a competition. Why artists have a clear opinion of reviewers.

  16. F.... ....

    Paul Williams, I have the most wonderful memories dating back to the early 1980's when my son was a toddler.  Thank you for a lifetime of beautiful music and a beautiful life that you were an important part of!!!

  21. k.... r....

    Thank you Paul Williams for Rainbow Connection. My favorite lyrics.

  22. R.... H....

    a great song !!

  23. K.... C....

    I found all the retards on Youtube!!  They are here commenting that Paul Williams is great and amazing.  I would comment more but I just threw up in my mouth. 

    K.... C....

    such an influential message from an out of work, unknown, and broke artist.  Who is a doofus?

    K.... C....

    @Kenneth Catron He's almost 75, it's called retirement you waste of space.

    K.... C....

    Thanks Cornpone.  That comment was 10 months ago and you're (not your) an idiot.  Get a life.  You must be a wanna be song writer or probably just a Karaoke DJ who can only sing Paul Williams songs. Bring em hardon.

    K.... C....

    +Kenneth Catron If you can't appreciate him, don't listen to him. It's that simple. Just save your ignorant comments to yourself instead of trying to sound smart you just come off as an A-hole. Which I'm sure you're not. No doubt just trying to get a rise out of people, however I'm sure people have enough b.s. in their lives that they don't need your negative input when they just want to enjoy the music they like. Have a good day.

    K.... C....

    +Todd Sullivan, nice try trying to defuse a dumb situation. but unfortunately, your mistake is that Yes he IS "trying to get a Rise out People" and that DOES make him an A-hole not just come off as one. +Kenneth Catron it would be easy for some one to look at your profile and watch your father in law singing and see where your lack of musical taste may stem from, or watch your video's of your little daughter's gymnastics classes. and talk $hit about you and the things you care about. So maybe its not a great Idea to be a Troll, and put down things other people may find dear to them. I myself think this is a Great song, but a Terrible rendition, but I wouldn't be so much of a tool to do dissing on other peoples attributes.

  24. W.... S....

    What a great song writer!
    Thank you Paul, for giving us so many great songs.

  25. j.... g....

    this is what giants really look like

  26. f.... ....

    well, well, well, well, well

  27. E.... L....

    I grew up admiring Paul Williams.  
    Thank you Paul!

  28. V.... E....

    And when i heard the angel´s voice of Karen Carpenter singing " I wont last a day without you " I have said to my self: "who could have created the lyric of that song, Burt Bacharach? But not ! It was this guy who wrote it!  So this guy does not "sucks" as Mr. Tate wadsworth (the commentator below) said.  This guy is for sure more worth than you. 

    V.... E....

    If you love the lyrics of these songs, you should check out other Paul Williams numbers  ...."We've Only Just Begun," "What Will They Say," or "You and Me Against the World" ........... all have a yearning hopeful theme in their lyrics ... very appealing to the sad pining romantic in all of us.

    V.... E....

    Burt never wrote lyrics

  29. S.... F....

    wonderful text, I love it!!

  30. T.... W....

    This guy sucks! You people actually like that guys voice!? He's just talking into a microphone, he's not singing!

    T.... W....

    His voice aint made for power ballads like dio,but he does sing which you can hear on the studio albums back when he was 50 years younger as he's 76 or 78 now. But arguably if his voice aint that great the lyric context of his song writing is superb and totally make listening to him or least a few of his songs worth it. My top two picks are Another fine mess the short version. .. although Glen campbell's version is good aswell yet the long version just seems to drawn out, or his version of just an old fashion love song, three dog night did a excellent version of it and made it rocking but his version sounds more eclectic and the kazoo's make it feel like an older song.

    T.... W....

    I'd like to see you at nearly 80 years old performing LIVE in front of a huge crowd. You should know he's a talented amazing songwriter and had a phenomenal voice 40 years ago...

    T.... W....

    Let's see- Producing songs that impact millions of people for 5 decades. Oscar and Grammy winner. Paul Williams is only 5 feet tall and he towers over you in so many ways. Please post some songs you've written.

    T.... W....

    Tate Wadsworth isn't rap music what you just described? I, personally, am not a fan of Mr. Williams, but he sings this with all of his passion.

    T.... W....

    Don't feed the troll.

  31. R.... s....

    I want to cry whenever I hear Paul sing this song. I think maybe because of a childhood lost? If you watch the version he did for Yo Gabba gabba, it seems right out of the 1970's and an old verity show from that era. Paul was such a big part of the 70's, and there is something so soothing about his voice.

    R.... s....

    I did, I remember loving the commercial of it that they would show occasionally...

  32. P.... P....

    Beautiful song and great songwriter. thanks for this great post. Loved him on tv in the 70's.

  33. S.... G....

    makes you believe anything is possible, and could happen if you just see the rainbow!

  34. J.... D....

    Jesus why does this always make me want to cry.

  35. a.... t....
