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 beyond the sun
Just a step beyond the rain
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land 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?
If happy little bluebirds fly, beyond the rainbow, why, oh, why can't I?
