"Somewhere Over the Rainbow"


When all the world is a hopeless jumble,
And the raindrops tumble all around,
Heaven opens a magic lane,,
When all the clouds darken up the skyway
There's a rainbow highway to be found,
Leading from your window pane.
To a place behind 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 skys are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.

Someday you'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind you,
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away 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?

If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow,
Why oh why can't I?

Lyrics: E.Y.Harburg
Music: Harold Arlen
