Writer(s): E.Y. Harburg, Harold Arlen

Somewhere over the rainbow

way up high

There's a land

that I've 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 troubles 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 oh why can't I

If happy

little blue birds fly beyond the rainbow

Why oh why can't I
