The Other Side of that Rainbow
words, lyrics, and music by David Kleiner and Dennis Dougherty

So we gave up chasing rainbows
And those childish games we'd play
All the fairy tales and moonbeams
Seems the rain had washed away
And although we tried one dream did not come true
But our loved can't be denied
Living on this side of that rainbow

We never found a magic kingdom
And no castle made of gold
This little house that holds our memories
Gracefully is growing old
And there's not a whole lot left when bills come due
Still somehow we get by Living on this side of that rainbow

(bridge) The cradle that we bought too soon
Empty in that distant room
The room became a storage place for dreams
Little shoes for tiny toes
A rainbow painted long ago
Who'd have thought we'd ever need these things?

Now I'm staring at the rainbow
And it's shining through my tears
Cause you're fixing up the nursery
After trying all these years
And you're painting everything in baby blue
Oh it's been a long long ride
Living on this side of that rainbow
And you're painting everything in baby blue
Though it's been a long long ride
We've reached the other side of that rainbow
