Innocence Mission Over The Rainbow (Harold Arlen-Yip Harbury ) Somewhere over the rainbow Way up high there 's a l that I heard of once in a lullaby Somewhere over the rainbow Skies are blue the dreams that you dare to dream Really do come true Someday I 'll wish upon a star 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? Somewhere over the rainbow Skies are blue the dreams that you dare to dream Really do come true Someday I 'll wish upon a star 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? If happy little bluebirds fly Beyond the rainbow why oh why can 't I?
