I'm Always Chasing Rainbows
Malcolm Lockyer And His Orchestra Lyrics

I'm always chasing rainbows
I'm constantly pursuing things that are unattainable and chasing after illusions that I can never catch

Watching clouds drifting by
I spend my time daydreaming and not focusing on reality

My schemes are just like all my dreams
My plans and aspirations are just as unrealistic as my fantasies

Ending in the sky
Both my schemes and dreams ultimately lead to nowhere and disappear like clouds in the sky

Some fellows look and find the sunshine
Some people are able to find happiness and success without much effort

I always look and find the rain
I always seem to find negative or disappointing outcomes in everything I do

Some fellows make a winning sometimes
Some people are able to succeed occasionally or at least have some victories

I never even make a gain
I never seem to make any progress or achieve any success

Believe me, I'm always chasing rainbows
Trust me, I continue to pursue unattainable things and am always chasing after illusions

Waiting to find a little bluebird in vain
I am hoping to find something special, like a bluebird, but it is unlikely and fruitless
