Lyrics
If Only You Knew / 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.
I must have rehearsed my lines
A thousand times
Until I had them
Memorized
But when I get up the nerve
To tell you the words
They never seem to
Come out right
Whoa
If only you knew
How much I do
Do love you
Whoa
If only you knew
(How much I do)
I said you don't know
(Do love you)
How much I love you
Sugar
Mh
(Someday I'll wish upon a star)
(And wake up where the clouds are far behind me)
Mh
(Where troubles melt like lemon drops)
(Away above the chimney tops)
That's where you'll find me
Somewhere
Over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
And if those happy little bluebirds fly
Over the rainbow
Why then
Then why
Can't I
Why can't I
Why can't I
