I was standing at the end of my rainbow With no where to go and no pot of gold in sight All my wishes were way too much to hope for But when I saw you I knew I'd seen the light And not a moment too soon With not a minute to spare You touched my heart when I didn't have a prayer In my darkest hour When my world was filled with gloom Your sweet love saved me not a moment too soon I used to think that love would never find me And the one who cares was lost somewhere in time But when you found me I knew I'd found forever You rescued me just before I crossed the line And not a moment too soon With not a minute to spare You touched my heart when I didn't have a prayer In my darkest hour When my world was filled with gloom Your sweet love saved me not a moment too soon Your sweet love saved me not a moment too soon Not a moment too soon
