Double Rainbow, an original song by Kathleen, 13

Signs of rainbows today.

And I wonder what the lyricists would say.

For I’m wondering,

What it could mean?

Oh, do you and I know nothing?

Been around just to love ‘em?

I know I’d feel like we’ve seen?

 

You’d say, 

Do you know about wishing on a double rainbow?

I’d say,

Well I know that they’re out to be seen.

And you’d say, 

Do you think that when wishing on a double rainbow,

Do you, you’ll think of me?

 

I’ve been coming cross a rainy day with sunshine lately.

But I wished.

And I think I finally know what it means!

To you, and me, the sky’s nothing.

2 colorful rays make it something.

How I wish I wasn’t so blind and could see

What makes them sing!

 

And they’ll sing,

Do you know about wishing on a double rainbow?

And I’ll sing, 

Yes, I know that they’re meant to be seen.

 

They’ll say, do you think that when wishing on a double rainbow,

That you’ll think of think of me?

 

Double rainbow

They’ll say,

Do you think, you’d think of me?

Eh-Oh

A double rainbow

Oh, I know I’d think

You’ll say, I know you’ll think of –

Baby, you know, you make me think.

I’d think of you.

Baby, I’d think of—

Oh and You know, when I see that double rainbow,

I’d think of you.
