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,
High 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?

I see trees of green, red roses too.
I see them bloom for me and you.
And I think to myself,
What a wonderful world.

I see skies of blue and clouds of white.
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night.
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 goin' by.
I see friends shakin' hands, saying "How do you do!"
They're really sayin' "I love you."

I hear babies cry, I watch them grow.
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know.
And I think to myself,
What a wonderful world.

Someday I'll wish upon a star,
And 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.
Birds fly over the rainbow,

Why then - oh, why can't I?
Oooooo...
