Rainbow Connection Lyrics

Rainbow Connection
Me First and The Gimme Gimmes
Are a Drag

RAINBOW CONNECTION
Song from the "The Muppet Movie" musical
Music/Lyrics written by Paul Williams and Kenny Ascher

Why are there so many songs about rainbows
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
What do we think we might see?

(repeat chorus)

All of us under 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?
It may be one and the same

I've heard it too many times to ignore it
It's something that I'm s'posed to be

(repeat chorus)

La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
Yeah
