I traced my footprints through the sands of yesterday   Back the way I came I was returning   And then I saw me standing just across the river   Just across the bridge that I?d left burning      It was all reaching out to me   Now my reflection in the water?s all I see      (Then it flew away)   Back to the laughing green of summer days   (Flew away)   Back to the chilly golden autumn haze   (Flew away)   To a place called yesterday   (Yesterday)      Come on in and sit down   It?s good to be in your town   We?re gonna take you for a rainbow ride   There?s no excuse not to relax and get loose   And let us take you for a rainbow ride      It?s been a long, hard day   But now it?s time to play   ?Cause we?ve got it all planned   We?re gonna strike up the band   We?re gonna take you for a rainbow ride      When the sunlight finally blossoms way up high   Purple shadows fall across the countryside   We could get together for a rainbow ride   Close your eyes and let it happen   Bright and breezy, nice and easy      Hold on while the music takes you way up high   We can race the moon across the evening sky   See the night time rainbow colors flying by   Close your eyes and let it happen   Rising, falling, gently calling you      Let the evening fly away   While you?re dreamin?   Come on, take that rainbow ride with me      Let the evening fly away   While you?re dreamin?   Come on, take that rainbow ride with me   Come on, take that rainbow ride with me   Come on, take that rainbow ride with me
