Lyrics
🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
Day after day I must face a world of strangersWhere I don’t belong, I’m not that strongIt’s nice to know that there’s someone I can turn toWho will always care, you’re always there
When there’s no getting over that rainbowWhen my smallest of dreams won’t come trueI can take all the madness the world has to giveBut I won’t last a day without you
So many times when the city seems to beWithout a friendly face, a lonely placeIt’s nice to know that you’ll be there if I need youAnd you’ll always smile, it’s all worthwhile
When there’s no getting over that rainbowWhen my smallest of dreams won’t come trueI can take all the madness the world has to giveBut I won’t last a day without you
Touch me and I end up singingTroubles seem to up and disappearYou touch me with the love you’re bringingI can’t really lose when you’re nearWhen you’re near, my love
If all my friends have forgotten half their promisesThey’re not unkind, just hard to findOne look at you and I know that I could learn to liveWithout the rest, I’ve found the best
When there’s no getting over that rainbowWhen my smallest of dreams won’t come trueI can take all the madness the world has to giveBut I won’t last a day without you
When there’s no getting over that rainbowWhen my smallest of dreams won’t come trueI can take all the madness the world has to giveBut I won’t last a day without youWon’t last a day without you, without you
