Why are there so many songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions
And rainbows have nothing to hide
So we've been told and some choose to believe it
I know there wrong, wait and see
Someday we'll find it
The rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers, and me......
I was walking through the backstage area and I swore that my ears were deceiving me. I haven't heard that song since I was kid. Someone is actually singing The Rainbow Connection. I just had to know who'd be singing that. I let my ears guide me and quickly find the source. There he is, my baby, my angel, my sweetheart, my little shnooky ukems, my rainbow, Jeff Hardy. He has his guitar on his lap, strumming along with the song, singing it to the kids that are backstage. You'd never believe that in a few short hours he has to go compete in the most evil match ever thought up, Monster's Ball.
I just leaned in the doorway and watched him. To see him interact with children is downright amazing. He has this ability to get down to their level, and really make them understand him. I guess that's because if you want to get down to it, he's just a big kid himself. I mean you'd have to be to pretend to be a cow, eating grass and everything, and let your best friend 'tip' you. I bet you'd be surprised to know that I was standing off camera watching that whole scene, wouldn't you? Well don't be. Jeff and I have been together ever since he got to TNA.
Who said that every wish
Would be heard and answered
When wished on the morning star
Somebody thought of that and someone believed it
Look what's it's done so far
What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing
And what do we think we might see
Someday we'll find it
The rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers, and me......
He's the one that keeps me stargazing. He has for the past year now. In fact, now that I remember, this was the song he was listening to when I first spoke to him. He was sitting outside, taking in the beautiful weather, listening to his headset. He looked so peaceful and serene, that I hated to interrupt him, but I had to. Ever since he'd walked in the doors, I was intrigued with him. I walked up and tapped him on the shoulder. He took off his headset and I expected to hear some kind of heavy metal or something weird coming out of the headphones. Nope, I heard Kermit the Frog, singing The Rainbow Connection. I was shocked to say the least. If nothing else, though, it gave me a start up for our conversation.
Here's another thing you won't believe. I know why Jeff's singing this song. We have to be the only couple in the history of couples that considers a Kermit The Frog song, their song. It always reminds me of him and he says that it always reminds him of me. So it's our song. One day we'll get married and have it played at our reception and I'm sure no one will have a clue why.
I just love watching him sing though. His voice is hypnotic, and the way his lips form the words is intoxicating, He just mesmerizes me when he's like this. Not caring who's around to hear him or see him, not caring who thinks he's cool and who doesn't, he's just Jeff right now.
All of us under its spell. We know that it's probably magic.
Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices? I've heard them calling my name.
Is it the sweet sound that calls the young sailor. The voice might be one and the same.
I've heard it too many times to ignore it. It's something that I'm supposed to be.
Someday well find it, the rainbow connection. The lovers, the dreamers and me.
I know I'm under his spell right now. I just can't tear my eyes away from him. When the songs over with the kids clap and cheer for him like he was a major rock star. The smile on his face, though, that's what gets me. There are very few people in the world that have seen a genuine smile from Jeff Hardy. I just thank God that I'm one of the lucky few. He just put his guitar down and sat on the floor with the kids. He's playing, which doesn't surprise me much. Like I said, he's a big kid at heart.
I manage to tear my gaze away in time to see my tag partner Andy Douglas walking towards me. I guess it's time to go figure out how we're loosing to AMW tonight. I don't care, though. As I walk off, I look back at Jeff and realize that, if I never won another match, or even if I quit wrestling altogether, I'd still feel like the champion of the world because I found the Rainbow Connection, the lovers, the dreamers, and me, Chase Stevens.
