Harold Arlen
Over the Rainbow
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus 1]
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 that you dare to dream really do come true
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus 2]
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?
