You used to dream yourself away each night
   To places that you'd never been
   On wings made of wishes
   That you whispered to yourself
   Back when every night the moon and you
   Would sweep away to places
   That you knew
   Where you would never get the blues
  
   Well now, whiskey gives you wings
   To carry
   Each one of your dreams
   And the moon does not belong to you
   But I believe
   That your heart keeps young dreams
   Well, I've been told
   To keep from ever growing old
   And a heart that has been broken
   Will be stronger when it mends
  
   Don't let the blues stop you singing
   Darling, you've only got a broken wing
   Hey, you just hang on to my rainbow
   Hang on to my rainbow
   Hang on to my rainbow sleeves
