lyrics:
I'm Always Chasing Rainbows At the end of the rainbow there's happiness
and to find it how often I've tried
but my life is a race, just a wild goose chase
and my dreams have all been denied.
Why have I always been a failure?
What can the reason be?
I wonder if the world's to blame?
I wonder if it could be me? I'm always chasing rainbows
watching clouds drifting by
My schemes are just like all of my dreams
ending in the sky
Some fellows look and find the sunshine
I always look and find the rain
Some fellows make a winning sometime
I never even make a gain
Believe me...
I'm always chasing rainbows
waiting to find a little blue bird in vain.

***
I'm Always Chasing Rainbows is a popular song. The music is credited to Harry Carroll although the melody is actually adapted from
Fantaisie-Impromptu by Frédéric Chopin. The lyrics were written by Joseph McCarthy and the song was published in 1917 and introduced in the Broadway show Oh, Look! which opened in March, 1918. The song was sung in the show by The Dolly Sisters and was subsequently featured in a movie entitled
The Dolly Sisters, released in September, 1945, where it was sung by John Payne. The song was also featured in the 1941 movie
Ziegfeld Girl sung by Judy Garland. It was also included for part of the run (and in the cast album) of the 1973 revival of
Irene.
