From the album THE GOOD BOOK (1971)

Babe rainbow keep your glow on
There's a show on you know
And they're all gonna be there
Put the gleam in your eyes
And do somethin' to your hair
Keep your glow on
Babe rainbow, oh you gotta go on

Babe rainbow keep your glow on
Though your hand has been held
Away too long
You're afraid to walk
Down the streets all alone
Keep your glow on
Babe rainbow oh you gotta go on

It must be hard lookin' up at the sun
When you know in your heart
You might never be warm
I know it's hard lookin' up at the sun
When you know deep inside
You might never be warm

Babe rainbow dancin' to a slow dance
At a memory affair
And all the boys were there
Put the gleam back in your eyes
And don't let 'em know you care
Keep your glow on
Babe Rainbow you gotta go on

It must be hard lookin' up at the sun
When you know in your heart
You might never be warm
I know it's hard lookin' right at the sun
When you know deep inside
You might never be warm

Babe rainbow keep your glow on
There's a show on you know
And they're all gonna be there
Put the gleam back in your eyes
And don't let 'em know that you care
Keep your glow on
Put the gleam back in your eyes
And do something to your hair
Keep your glow on
Babe rainbow you gotta go on
Oh you gotta go on
Oh you're gonna go on
