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, 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 lemon drops, Way 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 all those little bluebirds fly Beyond the rainbow... Why .. oh .. why .. can’t I?
