Rainbow 'Round My Face

by C. Carson Parks

Rainbow ‘round my face, I know you see it Coloring the sight of your good-byes It’s the sunlight of the smile that I am wearing Shining through the teardrops from my eyes When you see the color of a rainbow And wonder at it’s beauty so divine Remember sun alone can’t make a rainbow It takes a little rain to make it shine. Rainbow ‘round my face, I know you see it Coloring the sight of your good-byes It’s the sunlight of the smile that I am wearing Shining through the teardrops from my eyes I smile so they won’t know that I am grieving And that you’ll “be back home just any day” But darling, don’t you know that by your leaving You’re turning all my sunny days to grey? Rainbow ‘round my face, I know you see it Coloring the sight of your good-byes It’s the sunlight of the smile that I am wearing Shining through the teardrops from my eyes
