Someplace where there isn't any trouble...

...do you suppose there is such a place, Toto?

There must be. It's not a place you can get to by a boat or a train.

It's far, far away...

Behind the moon

Beyond the rain



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?

Reprise Cut from the Movie

(Judy sang this reprise in the witch's castle)



Someday I'll wake and rub my eyes,

and in that land beyond the skies you'll find me.

I'll be a laughing daffodil

and leave the silly cares that fill

my mind behind me.



If happy little bluebirds fly

Beyond the rainbow,

Why oh why can't I?

Complete Lyrics from the Original Sheet Music



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 window pane.

To a place behind the sun,

Just a step beyond the rain.



Somewhere over the rain
