Somewhere Over the Rainbow
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When all the clouds darken up the skyway
There's a rainbow highway to be found
Leading from your window pane
To a place behind the Sun
Just a step beyond the rain
Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
There's a land that I've heard of once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
And the dreams, the dreams
That you dared to dream
Really do come true
Some day 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 blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?
If 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?
