lyrics
Don’t Miss The Rainbow
By JoAnn Abbott and Ted Kiper
Look at you dodging drops
Trying to beat the rain
Sheltering from the storm
You want to be safe and warm
Watching the dark clouds form
Ducking your head down, and
Closing your eyes, while
You wince at the thunders roar
Water begins to pour
Feeling alone once more
But don’t miss the rainbow!
Storms always pass, soon the day will be clear
Don’t miss the rainbow!
God’s got a reason for bringing you here!
Wipe the drops from your eyes
See the light breaking through
All the colors of happiness glow-
Don’t miss the rainbow-
Because you’re too busy hiding
From the rain
Some days the sun will shine
Some days you’re feeling fine
Grey skies will come again
The sting and the chill of rain
All the harsh shades of pain
Open your eyes and know
Bad storms will always go
Red robins sing and play
Gold of a warm new day
Bright colors guide your way
Just don’t miss the rainbow!
Storms always pass, soon the day will be clear
Don’t miss the rainbow!
God’s got a reason for bringing you here!
Wipe the drops from your eyes
See the light breaking through
All the colors of happiness glow-
Don’t miss the rainbow-
Because you’re too busy hiding
From the rain
Don’t miss miss the rainbow
Hiding from the rain
Don’t miss the rainbow
Hiding from the rain (repeat and fade)
