about
I wrote this on Kailua Beach in 2008 before a meeting in town. I tried to fly over to Oahu from Kauai as early as I could so that I would have time to sit on the beach and write. In 2012, I recorded this with my daughter, Sarah, to rehearse for a concert. Amy wasn't going to sing since her role would be to dance the hula. I only have a few recordings of Sarah singing, so I treasure this.
lyrics
Once I saw a stream of colors
in the sky
Over gentle waves that hushed
a seabird's cry
Beautiful rainbow
More than a memory
Beautiful rainbow
Live in me
See the mist of early morning
slowly rise
Watch the valley cliffs unfold
before my eyes
Beautiful rainbow
More than a memory
Beautiful rainbow
Live in me
Like a dream you always seem
to hide away
Disappear, then reappear
behind the rain
Beautiful rainbow
More than a memory
Beautiful rainbow
Live in me
Beautiful rainbow
More than a memory
Beautiful rainbow
Live in me
