When all the world
Is a hopeless jumble
And the raindrops
Tumble all around,
Heaven opens a magic lane
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 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
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then oh why can't I?

Where troubles melt
Like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
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?
