Lyrics Dinah Washington

Dinah Washington

Look To The Rainbow

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 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 a dream

Follow the fellow, follow the fellow

Follow the fellow who follows a dream

'Twas a sumptuous gift bequeathed to a child

Oh, the lure of that song kept her feet running wild

For you never grow old and you never stand still

With a whippoorwill singing beyond the next hill

So, I bundled me heart and I roamed the world free

To the east with the lark, To the west with the sea

And I searched all the world and I scanned all the skies

But I found it at last in my own true love's eyes
