Parhelion is another word to use
Sundog is the word I'd choose
Who would have thought, on a Winter's day
That we'd see a rainbow, so special in every way

Two Sundogs make a halo, I bet that's a sight
I bet it shows up great, in the sun light
You don't often see it, but you never know
When a Sundog will most likely show

Sundog? I wonder if it could bark
High above, while I walk through the park
Take another picture, to show your friends
Because it'll disappear, because that is how time ends
Sundog, a rainbow in the sky
Winter's beauty, seen to our eye

I saw a rainbow in the sky on one Winter's day.
I didn't realize it was called a sundog. I was
just happy to see it, no matter what season it was.
Beauty is one thing I look for in many things.
