Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Way across the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me
[Verse 3]
Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh, why can't I?
[Verse 4]
Someday I'll wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far
Behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Way across the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me
[Verse 5]
Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh, why can't I?
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh, why can't I?
[Verse 6]
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh, why can't I?
Why can't I?
Why can't I?
Why can't I?
