Title:
“Rainbow Rendezvous”
Full song lyrics with chord progression:
[Verse 1 – Am G F E]
In the land of black and white, I was colorblind,
Until you walked into my life, with a spectrum so kind.
Beneath the monochrome sky, you painted a rainbow,
Turned my world upside down, set my heart aglow.
[Chorus – C G Dm Am]
Rainbow Rendezvous, under the crimson hue,
Dance with me in the rain, let’s wash away the pain.
Rainbow Rendezvous, in this moment so true,
Hold my hand, take the stand, let’s make this world brand new.
[Verse 2 – Am G F E]
Splashes of red, whispers of blue,
In the canvas of life, you painted me anew.
In your eyes, I see a world unconfined,
Lost in our Rainbow Rendezvous, love undefined.
[Chorus – C G Dm Am]
Rainbow Rendezvous, under the silver moon,
Sing with me this melody, let’s make our own tune.
Rainbow Rendezvous, in this cosmic balloon,
Take the leap, dive deep, we’ll get there soon.
[Bridge – Dm Am G F]
In the kaleidoscope of time, colors intertwine,
At our Rainbow Rendezvous, love, you’re forever mine.
