I don't worry
Whenever skies are grey above
Got a pocketful of rainbows
Got a heart full of love
Mister heartache
I've found a way to make him leave
Got a pocketful of rainbows
Got a star up my sleeve
Kiss me extra tender
Hold me extra tight
'Cause I'm saving your sweetness
For a lonely night aye
Aye aye aye aye aye aye aye aye
No more teardrops
Now that I've found a love so true
I got a pocketful of rainbows
Got an armful of you
Kiss me extra tender
Hold me extra tight
'Cause I'm savin' your sweetness
For a lonely night aye
Aye aye aye aye aye aye aye aye
No more heartaches
Now that I've found a love so true
Got a pocketful of rainbows
And an armful of you
Rainbows ..............
Rainbows ..............
