Somewhere over the rainbow way up high There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true One day I'll wish upon a star And wake up where the clouds are far behind me Where your troubles melt like lemon drops Way above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me Oh, somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds, they fly If birds can fly over, over the rainbow, why, then why can't I? One day I'll wish upon a star And wake up where the clouds are far behind me Where your troubles melt like lemon drops Way above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me Oh, somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds, they fly If birds can fly over the rainbow, why, then why can't I? If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow Why, oh, why can't I?
