Oooh
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
They fly over the rainbow
Why then - oh, why can't I?
I see trees of green, red roses too
I watch them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Well, I see skies of blue and I see clouds of white
The brightness of day and light, darkness of night
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people passin' by
I see friends shakin' hands, saying: How do you do!
They're really sayin': I love you
I hear babies cry and 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?
Oooh
