4. Full Song Lyrics

Verse 1:
In a world that’s full of grey and blue,
The colors seemed to fade, yeah it’s true.
Lost in shadows, looking for a clue,
Then came along the light that is you.

Chorus:
You’re the rainbow after the rain,
Chasing away my deepest pain.
Turn my sorrows into blooming flowers,
With you, I could dance for hours.

Verse 2:
A heartbreak song, I used to sing,
Now your love made it a wonderful thing.
You’re the sunshine after the storm,
In your arms, I found my warm.

Chorus:
You’re the rainbow after the rain,
Giving my world a colorful stain.
With you, every moment feels so right,
You’re my stars shining bright in the night.

Bridge:
With every teardrop, every sigh,
You stood by me, under the sky.
You’re the melody in my life’s song,
With you is where I belong.

Chorus:
You’re the rainbow after the rain,
Casting magic, breaking every chain.
In your love, I found my treasure,
Your existence, my heart’s pleasure.

Outro:
In this life of endless game,
You’re the rainbow after the rain.
