Lyrics
Wish me a rainbow and wish me a star
All this you can give me, wherever you are
And dreams for my pillow, and stars for my eyes
And a masquerade ball where our love wins first prize
Wish me red roses, and yellow balloons
And black sequins whirling to gay dancing tunes
I want all those treasures, the most you can give
So, wish me a rainbow as long as I live
All my tomorrows depend on your love
So, wish me a rainbow above
Wish me a rainbow and wish me a star
All this you can give me, wherever you are
And dreams for my pillow, and stars for my eyes
And a masquerade ball where our love wins first prize
Wish me red roses, and yellow balloons
And carousels whirling to gay dancing tunes
I want all those treasures, the most you can give
So, wish me a rainbow as long as I live
All my tomorrows depend on your love
So, wish me a rainbow above
