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 lullaby
somewhere
over the rainbow
skies are blue
and the dreams that you dare to dream
really do come true
some day 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
blue birds 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?
