somewhere over the rainbow,
way up high,
theres 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 drop,
a way above the chimney tops,
that 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 blue birds fly, beyond the rainbow,
why oh why can''''t I ?
