You put a rainbow in my heart and then you tore it all apart Now you have gone just your mem'ry lingers on There's a faded rainbow in my heart
It seems no matter where I try to rest my weary head All that I can hear are those sweet love words you once said Oh what an aching in my heart what a faded rainbow in my heart [ steel - guitar ] Won't you take me back again take the love that might have been How lonely dear am I all I do is sit and cry For that old familiar rainbow in my heart
