Willie Nelson - Rainbow Connection Lyrics






Why are there so many songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions
And rainbows have nothing to hide
So we've been told and some choose to believe it
I know they're wrong, wait and see
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me

Who said that every wish would be heard and answered
When wished on the morning star
Somebody thought of that and someone believed it
Look what it's done so far

And what's so amazing that keeps us stargazing
And what do you think we might see
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me
All of us wonder its spell
We know that it's probably magic

Have you been half asleep, and have you heard voices
I've heard them calling my name
Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors
The voice might be one in the same
I've heard it too many times to ignore it
It's something that I'm supposed to be
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me

    times, felt
    yelled empty
    singing, blank
    lines, in
    spaces, remembering
    dream on

    I saw Willie sing this at Paramount Theater in Cedar Rapids Iowa one of the best concerts Ive been blessed to see.

  24. T.... S....

    Was this flimed in Austin that park looks so familiar

  25. N.... ....

    When Willy Nelson gathers enough people to cover a piece by Kermit, it's time to pay attention.

  26. A.... T....

    I hope you Rest in Peace Man.The world sure is going to miss you Buddy.

    A.... T....

  31. L.... T....

    One of my favorite songs! Just Awesome!

  34. S.... L....

  35. T.... R....

    I just stumbled on this after Willie Nelson and Kacey Musgraves sang the song on the Country Music Awards

    T.... R....

    Terrence Ragin same, it was great

  36. D.... M....

    Willie ❤️ Legend.

  38. S.... F....

    I think he sang this song for his son who passed, he sings about what's on the other side and the little boy in the video looks just like a picture of his son when he was little and the little boy is through out the video and at the very end.. I think he's still grieving in this song, it's a really poinete and touching song.

  39. A.... R....

    here after him and kacey did this live

  40. C.... ....

    Here after he and Kaceys performance!!! Long Live Willie!

  41. P.... ....

    Willie and Kacey Musgraves just performed this on the CMT awards and killed it. What a performance.

    P.... ....

    Yeah and what stinks is you can tell he is struggling. He’s such a legend and I left a comment on the video here on YouTube if the performance and I can’t stop chocking up about it....it’s like a goodbye...😔😢

    P.... ....

    @sasquatchSGK yea his voice is strained. Still amazing

    P.... ....

    It was phenomenal. Even though he was struggling and weak and frail sounding Kasey Musgrave tone down her performance at her vocals to not overpower or overshadow him. It was awesome

    P.... ....

    No disrespect intended : I am age 68 and a life long asthmatic. In the 1950's I was in the hospital as a kid more than I was home. Medicines were few, they stuck me in an oxygen tent for a week or two per visit. Today, the pharmaceutical people have amazing inhalers that do work even for us older generation crowd. Willie has almost 20 years on me and I doubt I'll ever see age 86. He does great but he might be able to do better with the proper medication(s).

    P.... ....

    Phillip when I heard Willie singing I couldn’t hold back the tears. He’s so old now & you can hear it in his voice. And then you hear Kacey & her buttery angelic youthful voice & emotions hit me more. I cried the entire performance. Think I couldn’t stop crying because I know he won’t be here forever...seeing & hearing the contrast yet harmony of them...it was more than my poor heart could handle. 😭❤️

    @dat guy you know Sighhhhhh. Let me spell it out for you:
    The "taste" of the modern music consumer and the ability to avoid pure, corporate engineered SHIT?
    Brutal.

    Anyone still think Magic doesnt exist?

  46. A.... H....

    Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

    Andy Bernard to Pam Beesly

  48. M.... H....

    Literally the best song ever written

  49. D.... B....

    Magnificent

  50. C.... P....

    This song is just timeless. Willie sings with an honesty that just touches the soul. And we also have to commend the song’s writers, Paul Williams (who you may also know as Little Enos from “Smokey and the Bandit”) and Kenneth Ascher, for writing such a sentimental masterpiece.

  51. z.... o....

    The lovers the dreamers and me

    S.... H....

    💯🔥

  89. T.... G....

    He and Jim Hensons voice for Kermit should've done a duet years and years ago

  90. C.... R....

    Rainbow Connetion is a classic song.. It remind me of someone from the past and can not help to teary eyes.

  91. T.... M....

    Why am I crying at the barn rn

  92. R.... R....

    Why are there so many
    Songs about rainbows?
    And what's on the other side?
    Rainbows are visions
    But only illusions
    And rainbows have nothing to hide
    So we've been told
    And some chose to believe it
    I know they're wrong, wait and see

    Someday we'll find it
    The rainbow connection
    The lovers, the dreamers and me

    Who said that every wish
    Would be heard and answered
    When wished on the morning star?
    Somebody thought of that
    And someone believed it
    Look what it's done so far
    And what's so amazing
    That keeps us star gazing
    And what do we think we might see?

    Someday we'll find it
    The rainbow connection
    The lovers, the dreamers and me
    All of us under its spell
    We know that it's probably magic

    Have you been half-asleep?
    And have you heard voices?
    I've heard them calling my name

    That calls she young sailors?
    The voice might be one and the same
    I've heard it too many times to ignore it
    There's something that I'm supposed to be

    The lovers, the dreamers and me

  93. S.... N....

    This is terrible, period.

  94. J.... P....

    Willie is so cool. This video was done a way back 2001. Boy the world has changed. I just hope that we can all find our rainbows and have a little bit more peace and less trauma. Willie is one really cool dude laid back. Somehow we got lost along the way and I don't know why I really cried when I watch this cuz all I want is a little bit of peace. And it made me think of John Lennon dreams dream away or imagine. You think we'd get it right but then we fall back into our same old tribal instincts and start building up walls. It's time we start tearing them back down start treating each other with love peace and understanding. Yes you may say I'm a dreamer but I'm not the only one. I'm quoting John Lennon.

  95. R.... R....

    The song starts at 1:57. You're welcome.

  96. A.... D....

    Anyone coming from the Office? Andy singing to Pam.
