Somewhere Over the Rainbow

Somewhere Over the Rainbow

Somewhere, over the rainbow,
Way up high,
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullabye.
Somewhere, over the rainbow,
Bluebirds fly.
Birds fly over the rainbow,
Why, 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
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
above the rainbow
Why, oh why, can't I?


From The Wizard of Oz
