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 Someday I'll wish upon a star And wake up where the clouds are far behind me. Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me Somewhere over the rainbow Bluebirds fly Birds fly over the rainbow Why then oh, why can't I? all the world is a whole glass jumbled And the raindrops tumble all around There's an old place of magic A place behind the sun Just a step behind the rainbow Somewhere over the rainbow Bluebirds fly Birds fly over the rainbow Why then oh, why can't I? If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow Why oh, why can't I?
