Gray skies, that darkens my day
It makes one lazy in every way
On those dreary days... let it rain
And wash those clouds away

That patch of blue, with the sun peeking through
Momma...is that you, clearing the clouds away
Gray skies or blue
My heart shines for all of you

Momma...when the rains stops
And the rainbow appears
Will it be the same colors...
As when Barbara was here with me?

When I see the next rainbow
I'll follow it to the very end
To see if there's a pot of gold
Remember...
When you told Barbara and I years ago

Momma...in that patch of blue
From the heavens where you are
Please ask God, to send an angel
To protect your family below

So when the sky is gray
Or with that patch of blue
I'll look up to the heavens
To try and get a glimpse of you!
