Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Once in a lullabySomewhere over the rainbow
Blue birds fly
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Dreams really do come true ooh ohSomeday I'll wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find meOh, somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
And the dream that you dare to,
Oh why, oh why can't I?Well I see trees of green and red roses too,
I'll watch them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful worldWell 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 worldThe 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?"
They're really saying, I...I love youI hear babies cry and I watch them grow,
They'll learn much more than we'll know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world worldSomeday I'll wish upon a star,
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney top
That's where you'll find meOh, somewhere over the rainbow way up high
And the dream that you dare to, why, oh why can't I? I?
