Look To The Rainbow 1947 'Finian's Rainbow'

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 29 Jun 2003

On the day I was born,
said my Father said he,
I've an elegant legacy
waiting for ye,
'tis a rhyme for your lips,
and a song for your heart,
to sing it whenever
the world falls apart.

Look, look, look to the rainbow,
follow it over the hill and stream.
Look, look, look to the rainbow,
follow the fellow
who follows the dream.

'Twas a sumptuous gift
to bequeath to a child,
the lure of that song
kept her feet running wild,
for you never grow old
and you never stand still,
with whimper we're singing
beyond the next hill.

Look, look, look to the rainbow,
follow it over the hill and stream.
Look, look, look to the rainbow,
follow the fellow
who follows the dream.

So I pondered my heart,
and I roamed the world free,
to the east with the lark,
to the west with the sea,
and I searched all the earth,
and I scanned all the sky,
till I found it at last
in my own true love's eyes.

Look, look, look to the rainbow,
follow it over the hill and stream.
Look, look, look to the rainbow,
follow the fellow
who follows the dream.
Follow the fellow,
who follows the fellow,
Who follows the fellow
who follows the dream.
