- Liz Callaway sings "Look to the Rainbow" from Finian's Rainbow in her kitchen on St Patrick's Day, 2021.
From Liz: I was inspired to sing a song today for St Patrick's Day, and this gem from Finian's Rainbow came to mind. The arrangement is by my pal, and cast-mate from Merrily We Roll Along, David Loud.
LOOK TO THE RAINBOW
Music by Burton Lane and lyrics by E. Y.“Yip” Harburg
From the musical Finian's Rainbow
LYRICS
On the day I was born
Said my father, said he
I've an elegant legacy
Waitin’ for ye
'Tis a rhyme for your lips
And a song for your heart
To sing it whenever the world falls apart
Look, look, look to the rainbow
Follow it over the hill and stream
Look, look, look to the rainbow
Follow the fellow who follows a dream
'Twas a sumptuous gift to bequeath to a child
Oh, the lure of that song
Kept her feet runnin’ wild
For you never grow old and you never stand still
With whippoorwills singin’ beyond the next hill
Look, look, look to the rainbow
Follow it over the hill and stream
Look, look, look to the rainbow
Follow the fellow who follows a dream
So, I bundled me heart and I roamed the world free
To the east with the lark
To the west with the sea
And I searched all the world, and I scanned all the skies
But I found it at last in my own true love's eyes
Look, look, look to the rainbow
Follow it over the hill and stream
Look, look, look to the rainbow
Follow the fellow who follows a dream
Follow the fellow.
Follow the fellow,
Follow the fellow
Who follows a dream.

Wow what an amazing voice you have I'd love to be able to sing like that absolutely beautiful way you sing that song I'm Debbie by the way xx

Simply beautiful.
Thank you! 🌈
No other voice in the world comforts me as much as yours. It's like having this wonderful guardian angel that I keep looking for again and again to make me feel things will be alright. Love you so much, thank you for all the light you brought and keep bringing into my life!
❤️❤️❤️
Liz, you always bring a smile to my face. Today, you lit up my living room with a Rainbow of colors.
I've been watching you perform for 40 years - since Merrily.
My husband and I met a few months before you opened, and we saw you at the Alvin.
Thank you for 40 years of wonderfulness
😎😎😎
Wow! Thanks so much!
Dear Liz, you have the best voice, not only in the United States but in the entire world. Everything you sing conveys beautiful emotions through the elegance of your privileged voice. Your voice leaves us speechless. You are the only singer I have seen transform the space of her house in the Madison Square Garden. We need people who, with their songs, make us think about hope, love, peace and the future. And you are one of them. My family and I want to continue listening to you in records, casts recordings, musical theater, movies, concerts and other artistic expressions. Kind regards from Mexico City!
Miguel, thank so much for your kind words- they mean so much. I hope to sing in Mexico City someday!!!
Theatre, Great Hall, Backyard..Kitchen or Closet..no matter the stage, voice rings clear & true everytime Liz! Love the mid song modulation here! Thx. for the tune!☀️
Thanks for your kind words Mark!
☘️🧡☘️🧡☘️🧡☘️ Miss Callaway!
Please call me Liz.😀
Angel Voice
This got me a lil choked up, I preformed this in middle school as a solo and I could never find the version I sang and this is exactly it 🥲 beautiful voice. Thank you so much❤
Liz... These sweet, simple videos you make (whether by car OR kitchen) TRULY help us ALL who adore music... AND you. Thank YOU and, please, keep singing. ♥
So glad you like my videos-you know I will keep singing!
@@LizCallaway Yes, I KNOW you will... & while we're on the subject (haha)... I can't help but imagine your voice singing "At 17," by Janis Ian... but at a slower tempo & with only a piano. I feel you'd bring so much depth & tenderness to it. Just sayin'... If you're ever at a loss for something to sing/video/record, I think you'd sound remarkable and I'd love to hear it. Thanks !
I’ll try it sometime. Thx for the suggestion.
In 5 more years, you can serenade me with a rendition of “At 70”…
(Gulp!)
Simple, elegant & totally beguiling
Thanks John!
As I near the age of 81 in a few months, I 'follow the rainbow' so much more than I used to. Your pure rendition of this beautiful song is,again, another gift you have given me. What a joy to have you in my life with these musical snippets you so happily share. And that you sang this one in your kitchen made it even more perfect... Thank you, Lz.
Thank you so much for your kind words Martha! Wishing you all the best!
Liz.... greetings from Ireland.....and thank you for your warm redition of this song☘️
Thanks Gerry. How I'd love to come back to Ireland as soon as possible!
Thank you so much for posting this, Liz. Lots of love from the Netherlands ❤️🍀
Thanks Mark. I so want to sing in the Netherlands some day!
I just love listening to you sing. Your voice is so sweet and the joy on your face as you sing. Thank you so much for sharing your gift with us on RUclips. I wish you many years of joyful singing.

Beautiful. Perfect song for your lovely voice.
The most sublime version ever. Thank you Miss Callaway. Happy St Patrick’s Day ☘️
Thank you Anna!
@@LizCallaway You are so welcome! Thank you for replying Miss Callaway. I wish I had a voice like yourself that has that magical property to transport us to the feeling of the song. I tried singing last year to Journey To The Past for friends, recorded on video (apologies I sang along with the Broadway recording) I felt yours was to magical that I couldn’t do. My friends liked it. Just looked at it, I wish I had done it better. Sorry for the long reply. Thank You again 🎭🎶😊
Happy Saint Patrick's Day Liz!! Gorgeous song, stunning voice... as always
Thank you Jim!
You're just incredible! What a storyteller
I've been following you for years. This continues my fancrush. So lovely to hear you my dear. The story goes on. ;-)
Thanks Scott!
There are at least three great rainbow songs. This and Somewhere Over the Rainbow are two of them. Coincidentally, both have lyrics by Yip Harburg. This is a beautiful recording of a special song. (The third great one IMHO is Paul Williams’ Rainbow Connection)
My third would be I'm Always Chasing Rainbows. But Kermit is cool too. 😀
Thanks Sean. I love all 3 songs.
Bravo!
You bring joy and light on a gray day. Thank you
Thanks Mark!
just beautiful Liz loved it.
Thanks Debbie!
