Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow
Blue birds flyAnd the dreams that you dreamed of
Dreams really do come true ooh oh
Someday 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 topThat's where you'll find me
Oh, 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 myselfWhat a wonderful world
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 worldThe colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people passing by
I see friends shaking hands
Singing, "How do you do?"They're really singing, "I, I love you."
I hear babies cry and I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than we'll know
And I think to myselfWhat a wonderful world world
Someday I'll wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon dropsHigh above the chimney top
That's where you'll find me
Oh, somewhere over the rainbow way up high
And the dream that you dare to, why oh, why can't I?
