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 windowpane

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 dreamed of

Once in a lullaby.

Somewhere, over the rainbow

Skies are blue

And the dreams

That you dare to dream

Really do come true.



Some day I'll wish upon a star

And wake up

Where the clouds are

Far behind me

Where laughter falls

Like lemon drops

Away above the chimney tops

That's where you'll find me ...



Somewhere, over the rainbow

Skies are blue

And the dreams

That you dare to dream

Really do come true.



If happy little bluebirds fly

Beyond the rainbow

Why, oh, why can't I?
