Beyond the Rainbow

They say it is much better beyond the rainbow They say beyond the rainbow, children do not cry They say beyond the rainbow is a place filled with peace They say beyond the rainbow people do not die I wish I were in the place beyond the rainbow I wish I were there to hear the bluebirds sing I wish I were there to see the sun rise and set I wish I were there to taste the fruit the trees bring I would be so happy if I could be in the place beyond the rainbow If I were there I would laugh and play If I were there I would smile If I were there, I would give charity every day But I am not in the place beyond the rainbow; I am in a hospital bed I am not in the place beyond the rainbow and I have no hair on my head Although I am not in the place beyond the rainbow I still wish I were there Because if I were in the place beyond the rainbow my life would not be in despair
