Lyrics

I’m happy
So happy
Walkin’ on air
The why and the wherefore
Is someone I care for

I’m yellin’
I’m tellin’
Folks everywhere
I know that she loves me
So what do I care

There’s a rainbow around my shoulder
And a sky of blue above
Oh the sun shines bright
The world’s all right
‘Cause I’m in love

There’s a rainbow around my shoulder
And it fits me like a glove
Let it blow and storm
I’ll be warm
`Cause I’m in love

Hallelujah how the folks’ll stare
When they see that great big solitaire
That my little sugar
My little sugar baby
Is goin’ a wear

There’s a rainbow around my shoulder
And a sky of blue above
And I’m shouting so
The world will know
That I’m in love

There’s a rainbow around my shoulder
And a sky of blue above
Oh, the sun shines bright
The world’s all right
`Cause I’m in love

There’s a rainbow around my shoulder
And it fits me like a glove
Let it blow and storm
I’ll be warm
`Cause I’m in love

Hallelujah how the folks’ll stare
When they see that great big solitaire
That my little sugar baby, baby, baby, baby
She’s goin’ a wear

There’s a rainbow around my shoulder
And a sky of blue above
And I’m shouting so the world will know
That I’m in love

Friday, February 1, 1929 - From the moment I saw you that feeling came over me. And I just know that it will continue. I must confess one thing to you, my dear heart, and maybe you won’t believe me when I tell you. The fact is this. I think you might feel the same way about it.
