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,
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 bluebirds fly
they fly over the rainbow
why then - oh why can't 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
Well I see skies of blue
and I see clouds of white
and the brightness of day
I like the darkness in night
and I think to myself
what a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
are also on the faces of people passing by
I see friends shaking hands saying,
How do you do?
They're really saying , I I love you
I hear babies cry and I watch them grow,
They'll learn much more than than we'll know
And I think to myself
what a wonderful world
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
Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
birds fly over the rainbow
why then - oh why can't I?
