This is a song that made me want to learn piano when I was a small child. When I got the sheet music, it was in a key way beyond what I could handle. So I would mostly leaf through and look at the pictures. Over time, I kept working and I could get through it.
"Rainbow Connection" Lyrics
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 in the morning star
Somebody thought of that and someone believed it
Look what it's done so far
And what's so amazing that keeps us stargazing
And what do you 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
That many sharps seemed like an insurmountable obstacle then.
The most thrilling thing about The Muppet Movie for me was getting to see Kermit’s legs.
