When all the world is a hopeless jumble And the raindrops tumble all around Heaven opens a magic lane ... When all the clouds open up the skyway There's a rainbow highway to be found Leading from your window pane To a place beyond 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 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 troubles melt like lemond 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. ... If happy little bluebirds fly, Beyond the raibow, Why oh why can't I?
