Book 3. “Toys Toys Toys”, And “Island IN The Rainbows”

Here are two more from  “A Christmas Present for Santa, The Story Of Sandy The Bluenosed Reindeer” The first one is “Toys Toys Toys” great fun for us to record (we did it in a wonderful little studio up in Topanga Canyon, belonging to John Cornett, who produced the recordings for lilfish records, St. Thomas, Virgin Islands.) The setting is Santa’s workshop, and the Elves are singing as they work.

The second song “Island In The Rainbows” is a duet between Sandy and Santa, she is homesick and longing for her “Island In The Rainbows”,  A situation that every one of us might easily recognize. Santa tries to comfort her. The little girl playing Sandy is Tasha McCauley a truly great natural talent. Tasha was ten years old at the time. “Island In The Rainbows” is one of my very favorite of my songs. I hope that you will enjoy it and the entire Operetta. www.sandythebluenosedreindeer.com   Here we go!

ISLAND IN THE RAINBOWS

 

There’s a place that I know,

where I sure wish I could go

Far away, it’s an Island in a Rainbow

Somewhere far across the sea,

I can hear it calling me

But I can”t go

it’s an Island in the Rainbows

 Rainbow days… far away,

Green and Gold, Purple too,

Rosy Red, Yellow and Blue

I wish I could show it to you

Somewhere far across the sea

Is it dream or memory?

I don’t know,

it’s an Island in the rainbows

 Rainbow days… far away,

Green and Gold and Purple too,

Rosy Red, Yellow and Blue,

How I wish that I knew it were true

Maybe someday you and me,

We could fly across the sea

See, if there could be,

An Island in the Rainbows…
