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 trouble melts 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? When all the world is a hopeless jungle And the raindrops tumble all around Heaven opens a magic lane To a place behind the sun Just a step behind the rain Somewhere over the rainbow Bluebirds fly Birds fly over the rainbow Why then, oh, why can't I? If happy little blue birds fly Beyond the rainbow Why, oh, why can't I?
