In the beginning, I believed every word that you said,
Now that you’re gone my world is in shreds.
Oh, you loved me and left me,
You took all the things that I needed so bad,
I’m standing here wondering where is the love that I had?
Oh, give me silver, blue and gold,
The colour of the sky I’m told,
My ray-ay-ain-bow is overdue.

In the beginning, yeah,
There was something of love that was mine,
Now that it’s gone, whoa, I’m cryin’.

Oh, the time that it takes for a love
To grow cold is a wonder to me,
I’m walkin’ around with my head
Hangin’ down, tell me where is she?

Give me silver, blue and gold,
The colour of the sky I’m told,
My ray-ay-ain-bow is overdue.

Don’t forsake me ’cause I love you.
Don’t forsake me ’cause I love you.
Give me silver, blue and gold,
The colour of the sky I’m told.
My ray-ay-ain-bow is overdue.
Give me silver, blue and gold,
The colour of the sky I’m told.
My ray-ay-ain-bow is overdue.
Now, give me silver, blue and gold,
The colour of the sky I’m told.
My ray-ay-ain-bow is overdue, yeah.

Oh, don’t forsake me ’cause I love you.
Don’t forsake me ’cause I love you, yeah.
