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 And 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, oh, why can't I? Someday, I'll wake and rub my eyes And in that land beyond the skies You'll find me I'll be a laughing daffodil And leave the silly cares that fill My mind behind me Oh, somewhere over that rainbow Bluebirds fly If birds can fly over the rainbow Why then why can't I? If happy little bluebirds fly Beyond the rainbow, why Oh, why can't I?
