I don't worry Whenever skies are gray above Got a pocketful of rainbows Got a heart full of love Mister Heartache I've found a way to make him leave Got a pocketful of rainbows Got a star up in my sleeve Kiss me extra tender Hold me extra tight 'Cause I'm savin' your sweetness For a lonely night, aye Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye No more teardrops Now that I've found a love so true I got a pocketful of rainbows Got an armful of you Kiss me extra tender Hold me extra tight 'Cause I'm savin' your sweetness For a lonely night, aye Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye No more heartaches Now that I've found a love so true Got a pocketful of rainbows And an armful of you Rainbows Rainbows
