“over the rainbow” (lyrics)

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…

Someday I’ll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far
Behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away 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?

If happy little bluebirds fly
beyond the rainbow.
why, oh, why can’t i?
