Reachin' High For Rainbows - Mel McDaniel

Turnin' back the pages I remember how it was with you and me

You were just eighteen or so and I was still a kid at twenty-three

And we had our share of hard times when we married in the spring of '61

But you remember don’t you babe how it was to be in love when we were young

It was wakin' in the morning and feelin' deep inside that we were one

It was makin' love and dreamin' and hopin' that the best was yet to come

It was talkin' of tomorrow learnin' how to fly and how to fall

It was reachin' high for rainbows and believin' one by one we’ll catch 'em all

Lookin' back I wonder how we ever made it down the road this far

Cause I’m still workin' for the county and our savings won’t have fill the

mason jar

But after all we’re still together and I don’t regret one thing we ever tried

We’re still reachin' out with age and hopin' that old wishin' well ain’t dry

Yeah we’re wakin' in the morning and knowin' deep inside that we were one

Makin' love and dreamin' and lookin' there at all the things we done

Talkin' of tomorrow still learnin' how to fly and how to fall

We’re still reachin' high for rainbows and still believin' we’ll ever catch 'em

all

Hmm in fact we ain’t never cut no rainbows

Honey I don’t suppose it really matters much at all

We’ll wakin' in the morning and knowin' deep inside that we were one

Keep makin' love and dreamin' and lookin' there at all the things we done
