You Are My Rainbow

Verse 1
I was minding my own business
as I wandered around that morning
Thinking about the classes
I had that afternoon
A girl I know called me over
to meet one of her friends
I looked up to see your face
and I was struck by a feeling
stronger than any I’ve felt before
It hit me harder than a wave
against a rocky shore
Faster than a falcon
diving through the air
Now I know it was love
I know it was love, it was love.

Verse 2
I wanted to get to know you
as I waited for my class to end
and wondered about the feeling
I had that morning so
I gave you a letter saying
I am your secret friend
That was when I saw that smile
It filled me with pure happiness
A purer thing I could never say
It flowed through swifter than a stream
on a warm spring day
As unexpected as
a snowstorm in May
Now I know it was love
I know it was love, it was love

Verse 3
As I was getting to know you
my identity still a secret
I began to think about
how beautiful you are
because Baby you truly are
the prettiest little flower
When I looked even deeper
and saw who you really are
and you outshone everyone I know
I felt I already knew you
and forgotten somehow
And I sincerely hoped
that we could be friends
Now I know it was love
I know it was love, it was love

Verse 4
Oh it was a glorious day
When you found out who I really was
Then you could get to know me
and then we could be friends
You are the sweetest person I know
That is why I liked you
I wanted to ask you
to go on a date with me
While dancing I asked you, you said yes
That was when my heart began to
sing like no bird can sing
The beauty of a rainbow
paled in comparison
Now I know it was love
I know it was love, it was love

Verse 5
The strange warm feeling grew stronger
as the day crept closer and closer
When the day finally came
I felt stiff and nervous
and my heart was beating real hard
I admit I was scared
But the moment I saw you
all my fears were washed away
I thought back to all my memories
of you and in my heart I knew
what the subtle feeling was
yearning came like clouds roll-
ing over a mountain peak
I wanted you to know that
I loved you, Baby I love you! 

Chorus
You are my rainbow
My hearts only mistake
You influence every
important decision I make
A light out of darkness
Every breath I take
Baby I love you

Verse 6
My memories of being with
you are the happiest of all 
Being there to see you smile
made my heart leap a mile
I didn’t dare tell you one thing
knowing it would scare you
Baby I knew I loved you
with all the being of my soul
I tried to show you, I was pushed away
Not knowing what to do I ran
trying to find out why
I was confused and torn
I wanted to cry
Still I wanted you to know
I loved you, Baby I love you!

Chorus
You are my rainbow
My hearts only mistake
You influence every
important decision I make
A light out of darkness
Every breath I take
Baby I love you

Verse 7
My heart in shredded disarray
sang me a song of love and despair
my mind a turbulent storm
of clashing emotions
I was debris strewn on the sand
lost in one of life’s hurricanes
I was imprisoned in love
later when I accepted fate
my heart began to heal on the surface
something told me I wouldn’t heal deep
down if I didn’t make this choice
I hope you’ll understand
And hear my hearts voice
I want you to know I love you

End chorus
You are my rainbow
My hearts only mistake
You influence every
important decision I make
A light out of darkness
Every breath I take
Baby I love you
Baby I love you
I love you
