Hank Snow — Chasin’ A Rainbow

Chasin' the rainbow 'til the day that I die Rain starts to fall and the sun fades away Memories start calling, another new day It's hard to keep tryin' to reach for a star With no-one beside me but my old guitar But I gotta keep movin', no time to cry Chasin' a rainbow 'til the day that I die Just thinkin' over the years of my life My many proud moments, my struggles and strife The days of good fortune, when a good gal was mine How foolish of me to have left her behind But I gotta keep movin', no time to cry Chasin' a rainbow 'til the day that I die [Instrumental Break] My mind keeps a-wonderin' for things in my past The money I made, but I couldn't make last The vows that I've broken, the lies that I've told Mistakes that I've made in my quest for life's gold But I gotta keep movin', no time to cry Chasin' a rainbow 'til the day that I die Now often I think of the things I have missed All the girls that I knew that I never kissed All the dares that were offered and never did try Lost many good memories how foolish was I But I gotta keep movin', no time to cry Chasin' a rainbow 'til the day that I die [Instrumental Break] The prairies and mountains, I've left them behind I'm addin' the mileage to this life of mine From old California to the cold eastern sea Then back through the southland to old Tennessee But I gotta keep movin', no time to cry Chasin' a rainbow 'til the day that I die
