The Rainbow Connection

about

I loved the Muppets when I was a wee little thing and toted around my Kermit and Miss Piggy everywhere I went. One of my fondest memories as a child is my mother singing this song to me before bed every single night. Before my Mama's kidney transplant this month, I decided to surprise her by recording my own version of this song and playing it for her before her surgery. Here's to Mamas and Muppet fans everywhere... ;)

lyrics

THE RAINBOW CONNECTION
(Paul Williams/Kenneth Ascher)
from The Muppet Movie

Why are there so many
Songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side
Rainbow's are visions
They're only illusions
And rainbows have nothing to hide
So we've been told and some chose to
Believe it
But 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 star gazing
What so we think we might see

Someday we'll find it
That Rainbow Connection
The lovers the dreamers and me

All of us under it's 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
Are these the sweet sounds that called
The young sailors
I think they're one and the same
I've heard it too many times to ignore it
There's something that I'm supposed to be

Someday we'll find it
The Rainbow Connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me
