(lyrics by James Seals; music by James Seals, Dash Crofts, Bobby Lichtig,

Jim Varley and Roger Johnson, 1975)

From the albums I'LL PLAY FOR YOU (1975) and TODAY (1998, 2000). 



In the evening when I wake up and my golden rainbow is gone.

I reach out and I feel you there. And I see that look on your face.

And it seems so natural, here with you.

In the closing moments just before I lose myself.

I forget about my problems and I just leave all my cares behind.

And for awhile, it seems almost worth it, here with you.



I would give my life for you, golden rainbow girl.

You make the darkness disappear, you brighten up my world.

I would say you're good for me, golden rainbow girl.

You make the darkness disappear, you brighten up my world.



When the evening star is rising and the shadows gather 'round.

I go back to where I found you. And I see that look on your face.

And it seems, oh so beautiful, here with you.



I would give my life for you, golden rainbow girl.

You make the darkness disappear, you brighten up my world.

I would say you're good for me, golden rainbow girl.

You make the darkness disappear, you brighten up my world.

Yes you do, yes you do.
