           Rainbow on the River

< instrumental opening

with whistling by Elmo Tanner > 

 

There's a rainbow on the river,

the skies are clearing . . .

You'll soon be hearing a heavenly song,

all the day long . . .

 

When there's a rainbow on the river,

the birds are mating . . .

They're busy dating each other above,

happy in love . . .

 

Let's you and I go sailing,

along the rippling stream . . .

Holding hands together,

together we'll dream . . .

 

With a rainbow on the river,

you get the feeling . . .

Romance is stealing right out of the blue,

into your heart . . .

 

< instrumental close
