[Intro]
Some, somewhere
There is a rainbow
Way up high

[Verse 1]
Red and yellow and pink and green
Purple and orange and blue

[Chorus]
I can sing a rainbow
(I can sing a rainbow)
I can sing a rainbow too

[Verse 2]
Blue
Blue, blue, my world is blue
Blue is my world now I'm without you

[Verse 3]
Gray (Gray)
Gray, my life is gray
Cold in my heart since you, oh baby
Since you went away
Ah, yes you did, girl
Oh, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
I can sing a rainbow
(I can sing a rainbow)
I can sing a rainbow

[Verse 4]
(Red)
Red, my eyes are red
Crying for you alone in my bed

[Verse 5]
Green (Green)
Green, yeah, my jealous heart
And I doubted you, and now
Now we are apart
Yes we are, girl
Oh, yeah, yеah

[Bridge]
When, when we mеt
How bright the sun shone
Baby, then love died
Now the rainbow
Rain is

[Verse 6]
Black
Oh, black, oh lawd (Black)
The nights I've known
Crying for you
So lost and alone

[Verse 7]
But they are gone (Gone)
Tellin' you, they're gone
The jealous love we knew
Blue is my world
Now I'm (I'm, I'm)
(Said I'm, I'm)
No, ain't got no world without you, baby, no no
(No, hey)
You better believe me, baby

[Outro]
(My world is blue, girl)
I've got to have you, baby
(Since we're apart)
Don't you know I need you?
(My world is blue, girl)
I said I've got to have you, baby
(Since we're apart)
I love you
(My world is blue, girl)
I've got to have you, baby
(Since we're apart)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
(My world is blue, girl)
Oh, yeah
(Since we're apart)
I've got to have you
(My world is blue, girl)
I can't do without you, baby
(Since we're apart)
I love you
(My world is blue, girl)
You better leave me, girl
(Since we're apart)
I love you
(My world is blue, girl)
Oh, baby
(Since we're apart)
Ha-how!
(My world is blue, girl)
Don't you know I need you, woman
(Since we're apart)
