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

across the rainbow

Why, oh, why can't I?
