"Over the Rainbow" Lyrics

(Harold Arlen - E.Y. Harburg)

Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
There is a land that I heard of once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue
And those 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 a 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?

--- Instrumental ---

Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow, why then, oh why, can't I?...
