somewhere over the rainbow
way up high
and the dreams that you dream of
once in a lullaby
somewhere over the rainbow
blue birds fly
and the dreams that you dream of
dreams really do come true
someday I"ll wish upon a star
wake up where the clouds are far behind me
where troubles melt like lemon drops
high above the chimney tops
that's where you'll find me
somewhere over the rainbow
blue birds fly
and the dreams that you dare to
oh why oh why can't I, I?
(where?) I see trees of green and red roses too
I watch them bloom for me and you
and I think to myself
what a wonderful world
(where?) I see skies of blue
and I see clouds of white and the bright blessed day
I like the dark and I think to myself
what a wonderful world
the colors of the rainbow
so pretty in the sky
are also on the faces
of people passing by
see friends shaking hands
saying " how do you do? "
they're really saying
" I, I love you "
I hear babies crying
and I watch them grow
they'll learn much more
than we'll know and I think to myself
what a wonderful world
someday I"ll wish upon a star
wake up where the clouds are far behind me
where troubles melt like lemon drops
high above the chimney tops
that's where you'll find me
somewhere over the rainbow
way up high
and the dreams that you dare to
why oh why can't I ~
