Day after day I must face a world of strangers
Where I don’t belong,
I’m not that strong
It’s nice to know that there’s someone I can turn to
Who will always care
You’re always there

When there’s no getting over that rainbow
When my small list of dreams won’t come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won’t last a day without you

So many times when the city seems to be
Without a friendly face,
A lonely place
It’s nice to know that you’ll be there if I need you
And you always smile
It’s all worth while

When there’s no getting over that rainbow
When my small list of dreams won’t come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won’t last a day without you

Touch me and I end up singing
Troubles seem to up and disappear
You touch me with the love you’re bringin’
I can’t really lose when you’re near
When you’re near my love
If all my friends have forgotten all their promisses
They’re not unkind,
Just hard to find
One look at you and I know that
I could learn to live without the rest
I found the best

When there’s no getting over that rainbow
When my small list of dreams won’t come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won’t last a day without you

When there’s no getting over that rainbow
When my small list of dreams won’t come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won’t last a day…
