Dinah Washington — Look to the Rainbow

On the day I was born Said my father, said he I've an elegant legacy Waiting for ye Tis a rhyme for your lips And a song for your heart To sing whenever the world falls apart Look, look, look to the rainbow Follow it over the hill and stream Look, look, look to the rainbow Follow the fellow who follows a dream Follow the fellow, follow the fellow Follow the fellow who follows a dream 'Twas a sumptuous gift bequeathed to a child Oh, the lure of that song Kept her feet running wild For you never grow old and you never stand still With a whippoorwill singing beyond the next hill So, I bundled me heart and I roamed the world free To the east with the lark Tow the west with the sea And I searched all the world and I scanned all the skies But I found it at last in my own true love's eyes
