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 window pain
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 heard of
once in a lullaby
somewhere over the rainbow
skies are blue
and the dreams that you care to dream
really do come true
someday I'll wish upon a star
and wake up
where the clouds are far behind me
were troubles melt like lemon drops
away above the chimney tops
that's were you'll find me
somewhere over the rainbow
bluebirds fly
birds fly over the rainbow
why then oh why cant I
if happy little bluebirds fly
beyond the rainbow
why oh why can't I
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 window pain
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 heard of
once in a lullaby
somewhere over the rainbow
skies are blue
and the dreams that you care to dream
really do come true
someday I'll wish upon a star
and wake up
where the clouds are far behind me
were troubles melt like lemon drops
away above the chimney tops
that's were you'll find me
somewhere over the rainbow
bluebirds fly
birds fly over the rainbow
why then oh why cant I
if happy little bluebirds fly
beyond the rainbow
why oh why can't I
