Ooh, 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
High above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly
They fly over the rainbow, why then, ohh, why can't I?
I see trees of green, red roses, too
I watch them bloom for me and you

And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Well, I see skies of blue and I see clouds of white
The brightness of day and light, darkness of night
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people passin' by
I see friends shakin' hands, saying "how do you do?"
They're really sayin' "I love you"

I hear babies cry and I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

Someday I'll wish upon a star and wake up
Where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
High above the chimney tops that's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
Birds fly over the rainbow, why then, ohh, why can't I?
Ooh
