Story Behind The Song
I wrote this song about a man who loved me to pieces, but who I could not love in return. So, I tried to make the best of the situation. I found a rainbow. He was a millionaire, so I figured why not, lived that way for 5 years, and many more opportunities came my way as a result.
Song Description
It is a song about a lost love but not pining about what you have loved and lost. There is always a rainbow and always an opportunity.

Lyrics
RAINBOWS
When your lover -- has left you
And you?re feelin? alone ---
VERSE Does it matter -- where your heart is
All you know is -- that he?s gone
You call out --- he don?t answer
Will you fell --- afraid --- to go on
Why do you say the things you do?
BRIDGE Is that the reason he left you?
You only say what?s on your mind
Didn?t know he?d really go this time
Rainbows are for lookin? at
Not chasin?
CHORUS Sun is warm for everyone to feel
When rains and autumn gales are blowin?
I wish that you were here with me
Solo (over chorus)
2 bars of G
Repeat: Bridge
Repeat: Chorus
Repeat: Chorus
Last line twice then: ?If only you were here with me.
