The brainchild of former Deep Purple guitarist Ritchie Blackmore, Rainbow quickly developed into one of the '70s most successful heavy metal bands behind charismatic front man Ronnie James Dio. Together, the duo would produce a string of acclaimed albums which are still considered classics of the genre. But the group would change their musical approach numerous times following the singer's departure, eventually confusing and alienating much of their audience. Releasing eight albums during it's decade long run, the band finally came to an end when Blackmore departed to rejoin his old Deep Purple comrades in a full-fledged reunion in 1984. And while the impact of Rainbow's influence has faded with the intervening decades, theirs was a crucial chapter in the development of heavy metal and hard rock.

First time I saw your face
By your side was the place
That I would wanna be
Sometimes and I don't know why
Love can come or it can pass you by
Now you take all the love you gave to me
(you take it from me)
You're tearin' out my heart
Oh -
Never thought I'd see the day
You would throw my love away
And oh...it's killing me
One thing you'll never know
How it hurts to let you go
As you turn and walk away from me..
(walk away)
You're tearin out my heart
feel like I been ripped apart..
You're tearin out my heart...
Daybreaks I try to be free
But your memory is haunting me
oh - there's nothing I can do
All alone in the candlelight
I see your face again tonight
And I feel all the emptiness without you
(without you) tearin' out my heart
Oh, I feel like I been ripped apart...
Tearin' out my heart...
whoa...my heart
