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 for 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 beyond the rainbow why, oh why can t i ?
