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 sky way

There's a rainbow highway to be found

Leading from your windowpane to a place behind the sun

Just a step beyond the rain yeah

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

Some day I'll wish upon a star

And wake up where the clouds are far behind me

Where trouble melts like lemon drops

Away above the chimney tops that's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow blue birds fly

Birds fly over the rainbow why then why can't I

One day I'll wish upon a star

And wake up where the clouds are far behind me

Where trouble melts like lemon drops

Away above the chimney tops that's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow blue birds fly

Birds fly over the rainbow why then why can't I

If happy little blue birds fly beyond the rainbow why oh why can't I
