(E.Y. Harburg - Harold Arlen)



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

A way 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.



Someday I'll wish upon a star

And wake up where the clouds are far behind me

Where troubles melt like lemon drops

A way 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.



The happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow

Why, oh why, can't I...
