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 windowpane



To a place behind the sun

Just a step beyond the rain



Somewhere, over the rainbow

Way up high

There's a land that I heared of

Once in a lullabye



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 melt 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 bluebirds fly

Beyond the rainbow

Why, oh, why can't I?
