 At the end of the rainbow life has only begun 
 
 
verse 2 
                     F        Bbm/F                F 
In the long hours of twilight 'neath the stardust above

 Beyond the horizon it is easy to love

 I'm touched with desire

 Through flame and through fire

I'll build my world around you

Beyond the horizon  across the divide 
C                                             F 
  'Round about midnight, we'll be on the same side 
 
 
VERSE 5 
            F     Bbm/F           F 
Down in the valley the water runs cold 
C                                            F 
  Beyond the horizon someone prayed for your soul

  In mortal bliss

Beyond the horizon the night winds blow

  The theme of a melody from many moons ago 
 
 
VERSE 8 
                 F    Bbm/F             F 
The bells of St. Mary, how sweetly they chime

 My repentance is plain

 Someone there always cared 
Bb    Bbm          F 
  There?s always a reason 
G                            C 
 Why someone's life has been spared

             F    Bbm/F          F

  I've got more than a lifetime to live lovin' you
