Do You Know All the Words?

Singing to Daniel usually puts him right to sleep. The Rainbow Connection is his favorite song. It's taken us a while, but we finally know all the words.

The Rainbow Connection
Written by Paul Williams and used by Kermit the Frog, of The Muppets, Jim Henson Productions

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
When wished on the morning star?
Somebody thought of that
And someone believed it,
And look what it's done so far
What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing?
And what do we think we might 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 might be one and 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.

La, la la, La, la la la,
La Laa, la la, La, La la la...

Bonus verse from the movie ending:

Why are there so many songs about rainbows?
That’s part of what rainbows do
Rainbows are memories, sweet dream reminders
What is it you’d like to do?
All of us watching and wishing we’d find it
I hope you’re watching too

Someday you’ll find it, the rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers, and...

Life’s like a movie, keep believing, keep pretending
We’ve done just we set out to do
For the lovers, dreamers, and you!
