Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Somewhere over the rainbow

Way up high

There's a land that I heard of

Once in a lullaby

[Verse 2]

Somewhere over the rainbow

Skies are blue

And those dreams that you dare to dream

They really do come true

[Chorus]

Someday I'll wish upon a star

And I'll wake up

Where the clouds are far behind me

Oh, yes

Where troubles melt like lemon drops

Away above the chimney tops

That's where you'll find me

[Verse 3]

Gonna be somewhere

Over the rainbow

Oh, where pretty little bluebirds fly

Birds fly over the rainbow

Why then, oh, why can't I?
