Galileo (Someone Like You)

Galileo fell in love As a Galilean boy And he wondered what in heavens Who'd invented such a joy. but the question got the better Of his scientific mind And to his blind and dying day He'd look up high and often sigh and sometimes cry Who puts the rainbows in the sky? Who lights the stars at night? Who dreamt up someone so divine Someone like you who made them mine? Love can make you ask some funny questions now and then But just remember the alternative For I remember when I was lonely and unhappy And my lips were cold as ice Still 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 put the rainbows in the sky. --- Galileo (Someone Like You) - Eddi Reader
