Over the Rainbow
Music by Harold Arlen with lyrics by Yip Harburg
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
And 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
blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can’t I?
If happy little bluebirds fly
beyond the rainbow
why can’t I?
