(Dallas Frazier - Sanger D. Shafer) On a cold and grey October day our family moved away From a thirty acre farm in Tennessee And the part for me in the schoolhouse play would have to wait On a rainbow that only daddy would ever see. That was when my mama started praying Lord let him dream but make him realize That dreams won't feed the children that we're raisin' today Oh Lord take the rainbow from his eyes. Well even after I grew older we kept waitin' for the home That daddy kept on building in his mind And on the day he passed away he took my mama's hand And said honey I can make it just give me time. Jesus I pray that you'll forgive him For dreaming away my mama's life And Lord if there's a rainbow up in heaven today Please Lord let it shine in my daddy's eyes...
