Analysis of In Perfect Harmony



If only to touch a rainbow,
And make a wish today,
I would be standing near,
Awaiting for you if I may,

With every wish we can make,
And every song we can sing,
It would be in perfect harmony,
Upon your shoulder to lean,

I would wish for your safety,
And next for your love,
I would wish for something special,
As I hand to you a white dove,

If only to touch that rainbow,
And upon your shoulder to lean,
It would be in perfect harmony,
Together our song we would sing.
