Lyrics

That time at the Regal!
Young man went out and made a name for himself
He's been on every record-breaking show in the Regal Theater in the last two years
Ladies and gentlemen, the star of our show
How about a nice warm round of applause to welcome Mr. Gene Chandler!
Thank you so very much
There's a rainbow in my heart
That reminds me of how we parted
And I, I know that my love is gone forever
But deep down in my heart, I'll love her forever
There's a rainbow
Oh-oh, in my heart
Now, baby, baby, baby
Come on now, baby
Now, listen to me
I'm down on my knees, ooh-yeah, ooh-yeah
Please, listen to my plea, ooh-yeah, ooh-yeah
I'm a-looking up above, ooh-yes, up above
Praying for your love
Please, please, stop this rainbow
Oh-oh, in my heart
Baby, baby, baby
Come on now, baby
Come on, stop this rainbow
A-ha-ha, yeah!
Come on now, baby, and stop this rainbow
And I know the things I've done to you is wrong
I'm asking you to give me one more chance
Just-a one more chance
To prove to you that I know I was wrong
And I realize now, baby
And I realize now, baby
That love only comes once
And when it comes, you better grab it
'Cause it may not come no more
And I'm askin' you, baby
And I'm askin' you, baby
And I'm askin' you, baby
And I'm askin' you, baby
And I'm askin' you, baby
I'm asking you, please, please
Please, please, please, please
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Ah-uh, you look so good to me, baby
You look so good this evening, baby
Sometimes when I look up at you, baby
I feel like I just wanna
I just wanna reach out
I just wanna reach out
I wanna reach out, baby
I just wanna reach out-a
I wanna reach out and-a-, bite!
And I just wanna ask you one thing, baby
And I just wanna ask you one thing, baby
I just wanna ask you one thing
I just wanna ask you one thing
I just wanna ask you one thing
One thing, baby, I want you to stop
Stop this rainbow in my heart!
Thank you! Thank you so very much
