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, away  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?
