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 windowpane
|
|
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 lullabye
|
|
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
|
Away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me
|
|
Somewhere over the rainbow,
|
Bluebirds fly
|
Birds fly over the rainbow,
|
Why, then, why can't I?
|
|
If happy little bluebirds fly
|
Beyond the rainbow,
|
Why, oh, why can't I?
|
