Rainbow, waiting by my window Rainbow, singing at my door And the Georgia pines and dandelions are bobbing in the careless summer breeze
Sunshine, skipping on the sidewalk Sunshine, but not as bright as you When you shattered free, you blined me, and now I'm seeing stars around my head
And it's all I know You're the afterglow That never fades
Tadpole, squiggle in the water Tadpole, dancing toward the light From a pollywog into a frog in twenty seconds flat, well how 'bout that?
Mayfly, skimming on the water Mayfly, only for a day And if love is just a fleeting whim, then why is it you never dimmed away?
And it's all I know You're the afterglow That never fades
After all these years Of living in your shadow After all these years Of bathing in your light The only thing I know Is you're the afterglow That never fades
My love, brighter than a diamond My love, shining like the sun But I never try to close my eyes, I never want to hide you in the dark
And it's all I know You're the afterglow That never fades
And it's all I know You're the afterglow So just take it slow Until the sun falls low
