Over The Rainbow

Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
In the land that I heard of once 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
Away above the chimney tops
That’s where you'll find me

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 skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true

If happy little bluebirds fly
Above the rainbow why
Oh why can’t I
