Boom boom boom  
Let’s go back to my room  
So we can do it all night  
And you can make me feel right

You know the night time, darling  
(night and day)  
Is the right time  
(night and day)  
To be  
(night and day)  
With the one you love, now

Starry, starry night  
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze  
Swirling clouds in violet haze  
Reflect in Vincent’s eyes of china blue

Colors changing hue  
Morning fields of amber grain  
Weathered faces lined in pain  
Are soothed beneath the artist’s loving hand

Colours blend with love to show I’m happy with you,  
I can never be the same again;  
Now my eyes are looking past the life that I knew,  
I’ll be shedding black and grey to take on red and blue,  
Colours I can feel by touching you:

But I see your true colors shining through  
I see your true colors and that’s why I love you  
So don’t be afraid to let them show your true colors  
True colors are beautiful  
Like a rainbow

Why are there so many songs about rainbows  
And what’s on the other side  
Rainbows are visions  
But only illusions  
And rainbows have nothing to hide

So we’ve been told  
And some choose to believe it  
I know they’re wrong, wait and see  
Some day we’ll find it  
The rainbow connection  
The lovers, the dreamers, and me

I’m just sitting here on this new-plowed earth,  
Tryin’ to find me a little shade.  
And with the sun beating down, 'cross the field I see  
That mule, old rivers… And me

I keep you on my mind both day and night  
And happiness I’ve known proves that it’s right  
Because you’re mine, I walk the line

Mary Hill used to hang out in Cherry Hill Park  
The game she played lasted all day to way after dark  
Now, all the girls, they criticized her but all the guys just idolized her  
Cause Mary Hill was such a thrill after dark in Cherry Hill Park

I found my thrill on Blueberry Hill  
On Blueberry Hill, when I found you  
The moon stood still on Blueberry Hill  
And lingered until my dreams came true

Let’s swim to the moon, uh huh  
Let’s climb through the tide  
Penetrate the evenin’ that the  
City sleeps to hide  
Let’s swim out tonight, love  
It’s our turn to try  
Parked beside the ocean  
On our moonlight drive

I love to sing-a  
About the moon-a and the June-a and the spring-a,  
I love to sing-a,  
About a sky of blue-a, or a tea for two-a,  
Anything-a with a swing-a to an “I love you-a,”  
I love to, I love to sing!

By the light of the silvery moon  
I want to spoon  
To my honey, I’ll croon love’s tune  
Honey moon, keep a-shinin’ in June  
Your silvery beams will bring love’s dreams  
We’ll be cuddlin’ soon  
By the silvery moon

Be amazed at the friends you have here on your trip.  
Ride captain ride upon your mystery ship,  
On your way to a world that others might have missed.
