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 Some day I'll wish upon a star And wake up where the clouds are far behind me Away above the chimney tops Where troubles melt like lemon drops 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? Some day I'll wish upon a star And wake up where the clouds are far behind me Away above the chimney tops Where troubles melt like lemon drops 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? Happy little bluebirds fly Oh, why, oh, why can't I?
