Rainbows

Streetlights don't shine the way they used to Or maybe my eyes are gettin' tired I'd replace the bulbs if I could reach them But I'm not qualified The sun don't shine the way it used to I've stared at it too long- I'm going blind I've burned through all my candles But they couldn't hold a candle to the way My father used to say my name When the world used to spin A million miles a minute And I could find the gold At the end of every rainbow When everything was friendly And the glass was never empty Say it if you mean it In the morning My friends don't talk the way they used to Growing pains and going far away They tell you that it's time to disappear But you can't go anywhere Wish I could fly around the world Wish I was something greater I'd paint the stars if you would see them I wonder why God had to put me in the sky When the world used to spin A million miles a minute And I could find the gold At the end of every rainbow When everything was friendly And the glass was never empty Say it if you mean it In the morning
