Somewhere over the rainbow Way up high Is 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 Wake up where the clouds are far behind Me, where troubles melt like lemon drops High above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me Whoa, somewhere over the rainbow Bluebirds fly They fly over the rainbow Why then, oh why can't I? I, well I see trees of green and red roses too I'll watch them bloom for me and you And I think to myself What a wonderful world When I see skies of blue And I see clouds of white And the brightness of day I like the darkness of night And I think to myself What a wonderful world The colours of the rainbow So pretty in the sky Are also on the faces of people passing by I see friends shaking hands and singing How do you do? They're really singing I, I love you And I hear babies cry And I watch them grow They learn much more than we'll know And I think to myself What a wonderful world Suddenly I'll wish upon a star Wake up where the clouds are far behind me Where troubles melt like lemon drops High above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me Somewhere over the rainbow Way up high Birds fly over the rainbow Why then oh why can't I? I I
