Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high There's a land that I've heard of once in a lullaby. Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue Where 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, Way above the chimney tops, That's where, that's where you'll find me Somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds fly Birds fly over the rainbow Why then, oh why can't I? Somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds 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, Way above the chimney tops, That's where you'll find me Somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds fly Birds fly over the rainbow Why then, oh why can't I?
