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 windowpane

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

And somewhere, over the rainbow, skies are blue

And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true



Some day Ill wish upon a star

And wake up where the clouds are far behind me

And troubles melt like lemon drops away above the chimney tops

That`s where you`ll find me



Somewhere, over the rainbow bluebirds fly

If birds can fly over the rainbow

Why, oh then why can`t I?



Someday Ill wake and rub my eyes

And in that land beyond the skies

Youll find me

Ill be a laughing daffodil

And leave the silly cares that fill my mind behind me



Somewhere, over the rainbow, bluebirds fly

If birds can 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?
