- Verse:
- At the end of the rainbow
there's happiness,
- And to find it how often
I've tried.
- But my life is a race just
a wild goose chase,
- And my dreams have all been
denied.
- Why have I always been a
failure, what can the reason be?
- I wonder if the world's
to blame, I wonder if it could be me?
-
- Chorus:
- I'm Always Chasing Rainbows,
- Watching clouds drifting
by.
- My schemes are just like
all my dreams,
- Ending in the sky.
- Some fellows look and find
the sunshine, I always look and find the rain.
- Some fellows make a winning
sometime, I never even make a gain, believe me.
- I'm Always Chasing Rainbows,
- Waiting to find a little
bluebird in vain.
