    Lyrics to The Rainbow Connection

    Original music and lyrics written by Paul Williams and Kenneth Ascher

    Adapted and arranged by Catherine Scholz, copyright 2024

    Adapted lyrics:

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

    What’s so amazing that keeps us star gazing?
    What do we think we might 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?
    Someday thought of that
    and someone believed it
    look what’s it’s done so far

    And 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

    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?
    The voice be one and the same
    And 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 de da de de da do
    La da de de da do…

  • Lyrics to Fireban

    Lyrics to Fireban

    A night without a fire

    but the stars are out to inspire me

    to write a little melody

    of a song I found

    inside of me…

    (instrumental)

    The cool breeze blows through my hair

    and all my friends are here

    We have no need for a fire

    the music takes us higher…

    (instrumental)

     

    A night without a fire

    but the stars are out to inspire me

    to write a little melody

    of a song I found

    inside of me… yeah…

    (instrumental)

    I can feel the warmth all around me

    and it’s a feeling I would like to keep

    This kind of tranquility

    can’t be found in the city…

    (instrumental)

    A night without a fire

    but the stars are out for me

    ooo… ooo…

    (instrumental)

    The spirits we pass around

    well they’re not the best

    I’ve ever found

    but the music and our friendship

    they will never ever

    never ever never ever…

    end…

    (instrumental)

    A night without a fire

    but the stars are out…

    (instrumental)

  • Lyrics to My Heaven

    Lyrics to My Heaven

    What kind of heaven are you waiting for

    the curse that begets the blessing?

    Sunshine and everything I’m asking for

    are the rapture of a lover’s caressing

    Chorus:

    My heaven is knowing just a little too much

    of loving and laughing outloud

    My heaven is falling just a little too hard for the moon

    on a night without cloud

    Instrumental

    What kind of peace are you waiting for?

    the dream that was never fulfilled?

    I am blinded and branded by unlocked chains

    that would open if I had the will

    Chorus

    Instrumental

    What kind of heaven are you waiting for

    the curse that begets the blessing?

    Sunshine and everything I’m asking for

    are the rapture of a lover’s caressing

    Chorus

    My heaven…. hmmmmm….

    Lyrics to Really Something

    Now that I have found her

    I am even stronger

    I can really know her

    She is really something when she peels the past away

    my younger sister

    whenever I hurt her

    she still amazes me as she finds her own way

    And she peels the past away

    when she listens to what her voice has to say

    and she is really something

    really something

    really something to behold

    oh yeah… hoo, oh….

    Now that I’ve found her

    my mother

    there’s no other in all the world

    her strength has always

    been my inspiration

    and through her impefection

    she’s a Goddess in my world

    and she peels the past away

    as she follows her hearts way

    she is really something

    she is really something

    she is really something

    to behold

    and I never thought I’d have so

    much to be thankful for

    This is really something

    really something

    really something

    to behold

    yeah, yeah…

    instrumental

    Now that I’ve found her

    I don’t want to lost her

    She is the center

    she is the way

    as I look into the future

    I see only sunshine

    even when outside

    it’s cold and grey

    and I’ll peel the past away

    when I bleed upon the page

    I am really something

    really something

    really something

    to behold

    yeah, yeah…

    I am really something to behold.

    instrumental

  • Lyrics to It’s a Mystery to Me

    Lyrics to It’s a Mystery to Me

    How does that song go

    the one with the curly lips

    singing a song for me

    an image of ecstasy

    thrown on top of me

    Where did that voice go

    that laugh with burnt sienna, burnt sienna

    giving eyes to me

    shadowing lies could be

    making it hard to see

     

    Chorus: And it’s a mystery to me

    why some things can’t be

    Some songs are sung with a camel’s tongue

    and it’s a mystery to me

     

    How come you’ll never call again?

    Pretending the meaning is real

    faking interest and zeal

    always hiding what you feel

    Chorus

    And it’s a mystery to me

    why some things can’t be

    Some lovers give love

    like an unwanted shove

    and it’s a mystery to me

    what I want to be

    She’s in my hands

    where my yesterday, where my yesterday lies.

    It’s above my head

    what I want to be

    She’s in my hands

    the woman I am

    It’s time after time

    I stumble, I stumble

    I stumble forward

     

    It’s above my head

    what I want to be

    She’s in my hands, yeah

    It’s day after day I hug

    the familiar road.
