When all the clouds, darken up the skyway
There's a rainbow highway to be found
Leading from your window pane
To 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 lullaby
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far
Behind me
Where troubles melt, like lemon drops
A way 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 happy little blue birds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh, why can't I?
