LOOK FOR ME IN RAINBOWS Time for me to go now, I won't say goodbye; Look for me in rainbows, way up in the sky. In the morning sunrise when all the world is new, just look f or me and love me, as y ou know I loved you. Time for me to leave you, I won't say goodbye; Look fo r me in rainbows, high up in the sky. In the evening sunset, when all the world is through, just look for me and love me, and I'll be close to you. It won't be forever, the day will come and then My loving arms will hold you, when we meet again. Time for us to part now, we won't say goodbye; Look for me in rainbows, shining in the sky. Every waking moment, and all your whole life through just look for me and love me, as you know I loved you.
just wish me to be near you, And I'll be there with you.
