Willie Nelson and Kacey Musgraves – Rainbow Connection

ByEditor

Willie Nelson and Kacey Musgraves – Rainbow Connection – Live at CMA Awards, 2019.

Love the respect that she has for him, she sees the nervousness in his performance but immediately tries to soothe and work with him. It really shows the respect she has for those that came before her. And his beautiful comment in the end just describes the relationship the two have!

Kudos to Willie for even making it to the CMA’s He is nearly 90 and still getting out there. A lovely duet very respectfully led by Kacey. I do love when the Old timers and the upcomers work together, these are the treasures we will hold dear when the Old timers are long gone!

Lyrics:
Why are there so many songs about rainbows and what’s on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions, and rainbows have nothing to hide
So we’ve been told and some choose to believe it
I know they’re wrong wait and see

Someday we’ll find it, the rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me
Who said that wishes would be heard and answered when wished on the morningstar?

Someone thought of that and someone believed it
Look what it’s done so far
What’s so amazing that keeps us stargazing and what do we think we might see?

Someday we’ll find it, the rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me
All of us under its spell
We know that it’s probably magic
Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices?
I’ve heard them calling my name

Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors
The voice might be one and the same

I’ve heard it too many times to ignore it
It’s something that I’m supposed to be

Someday we’ll find it, the rainbow connection, the lovers, the dreamers and me
Someday we’ll find it, the rainbow connection, the lovers, the dreamers and me
