Somewhere Over the Rainbow
 
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 
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 oh why can't I?
 
( 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 oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly, beyond the rainbow 
Why oh why can't I!
