Sheena Easton (born Sheena Shirley Orr; 27 April 1959) is a Scottish recording artist. Easton became famous for being the focus of an episode in the British television programme The Big Time, which recorded her attempts to gain a record contract and her eventual signing with EMI Records. Easton is a two-time Grammy winner and has 15 US Top 40 singles on the Billboard US Pop Singles chart to date. She is the only artist in the history of the Billboard chart to have a Top Five single on all the key charts: Pop/Rock, R&B, Country, Dance, and Adult Contemporary.
Easton rose to fame in the early 1980s with the pop hits "9 to 5" (known as "Morning Train" in the United States), "For Your Eyes Only," "Strut," "Sugar Walls," "U Got the Look" with Prince, and "The Lover in Me." She went on to become successful in the United States and Japan, working with prominent vocalists and producers, such as Prince, Christopher Neil, Kenny Rogers, Luis Miguel, L.A. Reid and Babyface, and Nile Rodgers.
Easton was born Sheena Shirley Orr in the Scottish town of Bellshill, the youngest of six children to steel mill labourer Alex Orr and his wife Annie. She had two brothers (Robert and Alex) and three sisters (Marilyn, Annessa and Morag). Her earliest known public performance as a singer was at the age of five (in 1964), when she sang "Early One Morning" for her uncle and aunt and various relatives at the couple's 25th wedding anniversary celebration.[citation needed]

I'm not just looking for an answer to my prayers or my dreams
It's just I feel my love needs more consistancy
I'm about out of luck, half out of time I'm just about to lose my mind
I'm starting to lose touch with my reality I never wished on stars
I never thought that dreams came true.
Yet in the midst of all my disbelief
Darlin' now I feel like I am long overdue
I search high and low to find my pot of gold
And that's why, yeah
Some day I'm gonna follow my rainbow.
Some day I'm gonna reach for the sky
By then if you're not ready or able
I'll pack my pride for one last time
Cross my heart and pray our love won't die.
I'm not looking for an angel to make good on all my dreams
It's just I feel our love's not all that it should be
I'm not looking for a miracle. A mircale won't do
The only miracle I need is to be you
I don't believe in wishing wells
Wishes don't come true.
Yet in the midst of all my disbelief
Darlin' now I feel like I am long overdue
I'm searching high and low to find my pot of gold
And that's why, yeah
Some day I'm gonna follow my rainbow.
Some day I'm gonna reach for the sky
By then if you're not ready or able
I'll pack my pride for one last time
Cross my heart and pray our love won't die.
I've searched high and low to find my pot of gold
And that's why, yeah
Some day I'm gonna follow my rainbow.
Some day I'm gonna reach for the sky
By then if you're not ready or able
I'll pack my pride for one last time
Cross my heart and pray our love won't die.
Some day I'm gonna follow my rainbow.
Some day I'm gonna reach for the sky
By then if you're not ready or able
I'll pack my pride for one last time
