Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a rainbow 'round my shoulder
And a sky of blue above
How the sun shines bright
The world's alright 'cause I'm in love
There's a rainbow 'round my shoulder
And it fits me like a glove
Let it blow let it storm
I'll be warm 'cause I'm in love
Hallelujah how the folks will stare
When they see that diamond solitaire
That my little baby is gonna wear
There's a rainbow 'round my shoulder
And a sky of blue above
And I'm shoutin' so the world will know
That I'm in love
Hallelujah how the folks are gonna stare
When they see that diamond solitaire
That my true baby's gonna wear
There's a rainbow 'round my shoulder
And a sky of blue above
And I'm shoutin' so the world will know
That I'm in love
I'm in love, I'm in love




There's a rainbow 'round my shoulder
And I'm in love.
