Lyrics
Rainbow on a mountain so easy to dismiss
A miracle magnificent to view
A new born daughter placed into my arms
Was this wonder really true
Chorus:
And oh the thrill of holding her in my
arms, still remains to this day
Oh the thrill of holding her in my arms
still remains to this day
She?s a ray of sunshine in our midst a ray
of sunshine in our midst
Snow upon a hillside glistening in the sun
Melting and cascading down below
A child running proudly home to her mum
A brand new finger painting now on show
A song sung sweetly, words that make you cry
Memories that you had long forgot
A teenage daughter asking how or why
Tell her what is right and what is not
And then she?s grown up you wake up and she?s gone
Only from your home but not your heart
Each day seems so lonely without her smiling face
A brand new era?s just about to start.
