Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That reminds me of how we parted
And I, I know my love is gone forever
But deep down in my heart I'll love her forever
There's a rainbow, ohh in my heart
Baby, baby, baby, come on my baby
Now listen to me
I'm down on my knees, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Please listen to my plea, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm looking up above oh, yeah, up above
Praying for your love
Baby, baby, baby, come on now my baby
Come on stop this rainbow
Come on now baby, and stop this rainbow
And I know the things I done to you was wrong
I'm asking you to give me one more chance
Just one more chance to prove to you
That I know I was wrong
And I realize now baby, and I realize now baby
That love only comes once and when it comes you better grab it
'Cause it may not come no more
And I'm askin' you baby, and I'm askin' you baby
And I'm askin' you baby, and I'm askin' you baby
I'm askin please, please, please, please, please
Baby, baby, baby
You look so good this evening baby
Sometimes when I look out at you baby
I feel like I just want to, I just want to
I just want to reach out to you
I just want to reach out to you

I want to reach out and bite, yeah
And I just want to ask you one thing baby
And I just want to ask you one thing baby
I just want to ask you one thing
I just want to ask you one thing
I just want to ask you one thing, one thing baby
I want you to stop, stop this rainbow in my heart

One of the best live recordings ever made. Gene took his rag-tag soul band into the Regal theater and the audience (especially the women) proceeded to rip the place into itty bitty pieces. When he gets through with the song proper and goes into his ad lib, he gives a clinic on how to work a crowd; with each word sung he ever so slowly drives the women completely crazy (and you are there for every scream). He's had bigger hits, but this one cements his reputation as the dean of Chicago soul singers.

I remember my mom playing that song. Those songs bring such good memories back. My mom and her friends sitting around talking and having a good time. Things weren't so dangerous then and more fun. Gene Chandler was something else too then. The men of those days were something else, not like these men now. Everybody can think back to their childhood. Not a care in the world. The good old days. Music was so much different. I love that old music!!!!!!

I've always enjoyed this song. just the other day after the rain I took a pic of the rainbow and messaged it to my 71 year old mother and my mom recited the lyrics to this song.
