Jimmy Lafave Loved You Like Rainbows Lyrics

I just lie to myself
And then I go on
Since you strayed from me, baby
Since you left, I’ve sat at home

I awake in the morning
Through your window I stare
And the colors seem so lonelier now
Since when you first put them there

But I just want to let you know
And I’ll make it very clear
Though it just goes into one
And out your other ear
That I loved you like rainbows
Something you never could understand

They say the most precious thing
That we have in this whole world is time
You see people live and they die
All in the wink of an eye

But each day I’m without you
Another piece of me falls And I’m lost in the sorrow
Of the nightingale’s call

But I just wanna let you know
And I’ll sing it one more time
And when the song it is over
All the tears will be mine
’Cause I love you like rainbows
Something you never could understand

Yeah I just wanna let you know
And I’ll say it so damn clear
But it just goes into one
And out your other ear
That I love you like rainbows
Something you never could understand

Yeah, girl, I love you like a rainbow
Something you never could understand
You know I love you like rainbows
Something you never could understand
