I love to hear that Rhapsody in RedOn 29 November 1984, Hunter sand a different version (thanks to DJ Johnson for pointing this out):
It just knocks me right out of my head
Lifts me up here
Just floatin's around
Sends me way up
And it don't let me down
I love to hear that Rhapsody in Red
On my feet or laid back in my bed
Takes me way back
Where I don't mind
Takes me way back
In my time
My time
Sail away on that Rhapsody in Red
Don't care where those
Other rainbows led
With all those northern lights
Just blowing away
Got no thought to relate
In the same old way
Anyway
Love to feel it flood down to my soul
Loving feel just like in days of old
I sing blues
Where has it led?
Gimme some more
Rhapsody in Red
In Red
I love to hear that Rhapsody in Red
It just sends me right out of my head
Sends me right up and it don't bring me down
Sends me up and reelin' round and round
I love to hear that Rhapsody in Green
Picks me up like nothing I've ever seen
Green, green, rocky road serenading green
[?]
I love to hear that Melody in Blue
It does things to me, I don't know, how 'bout you?
Makes me feel sometimes like a brand new shoe
When I'm worn out, I don't know what to do
Green, green, rocky road, promenading green
Green, green, rocky road, promenading green
