Over the Rainbow

When all the world's in a hopeless jumble
and the raindrops tumble all around
heaven opens a magic lane

When all the clouds darken up the skyways
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 heard of
once in a lullabye

Somewhere over the rainbow
skies are blue
and the dreams that you dare to dream
really do come true

One day I'll wish upon a star and wake up where the word is far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
away upon 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 tiny little blue birds fly
beyond the rainbow
why oh why can't I?
