When all the world is a hopeless jumble

And the raindrops tumble all around,

Heaven opens a magic lane



When all the clouds darken up the skyway,

There's a rainbow highway to be found

Leading from your windowpane



To a place behind the sun

Just a step beyond the rain



Somewhere over the rainbow

Way up high,

There's a land that I heard of

Once in a lullabye



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, why can't I?



If happy little bluebirds fly

Beyond the rainbow,

Why, oh, why can't I?
