Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Once in a lullaby1
Somewhere over the rainbow
Blue birds fly
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Dreams really do come true ooh oh1
Someday Ill wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney tops
Thats where youll find me1
Oh, somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
And the dream that you dare to,
Oh why, oh why cant I?
Well I see trees of green and red roses too,
Ill watch them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world1
Well I see skies of blue
And I see clouds of white
And the brightness of 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
I see friends shaking hands
Saying, How do you do?
Theyre really saying, I...I love you
I hear babies cry and I watch them grow,
Theyll learn much more than well know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world world
Someday Ill wish upon a star,
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney top
Thats where youll find me
Oh, somewhere over the rainbow way up high
And the dream that you dare to, why, oh why cant I?
