RAINBOW CONNECTION

Everyone has had a song that touches us in a certain way. When I was little, my father (who was born in Ireland) used to sing to me LOOK TO THE RAINBOW, and that's why I named this blog that, and why the lyrics are on the top of the page. Even though my grandpa was my hero and the love of my life, Papa was also very influential as well. I was only twelve when he passed away from cancer, but at least he had the chance to see me on stage as Annie.

Now I have passed on the tradition to my little Steven, and when I saw him a few weeks ago, we sang a song by the wonderful Paul Williams called The Rainbow Connection. As my father wanted me to fallow my dreams, (which unfortunately I didn't do) I want my little Stevie to always believe in his. He's only going to be eight next month, but I hope I lived long enough to have made some good memories. Here are the lyrics to this sweet little song-

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 on the morning star? Somebody thought of that and someone believed it, and look what it's done so far. What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing? And what do we 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.
