Galileo - Sharon Shannon, Declan O'Rourke

Galileo fell in love as a Galilean boy

And he wondered what in heaven who invented such a joy

But the question got the better of his scientific mind

And to his blind and dying gaze

He looked up high and often sighed

And sometimes cried

Who puts the rainbow in the sky?

Who lights the stars at night?

Who dreamt up someone so divine?

Someone like you and made them mine?

Love can make you ask some funny questions now and then

But just remember the alternatives for I remember when

I was lonely and unhappy

And my lips were cold as ice

But you kissed me, and good heavens

Now I’m here in paradise

So if ever I’m not kissing you or looking in your eyes

I won’t be blind, and I won’t cry

I’ll look up high and gladly sigh

And thank the guy

Who puts the rainbow in the sky?

Who lights the stars at night?

Who dreamt up someone so divine?

Someone like you and made them mine?

Someone like you and made them mine?
