Somewhere Over the Rainbow lyrics

[Intro]
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

[Verse 1]
Somewhere over a rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby

[Verse 2]
And somewhere over a rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Oh, if birds can fly over a rainbow
Why, then why can't I?

[Bridge]
Someday I'll 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
[Verse 3]
Somewhere over a rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Oh, if birds can fly over a rainbow
Why, then why can't I?

[Bridge]
Someday I'll wake and rub my eyes
And in that land beyond the skies
You'll find me
I'll be a laughing daffodil
And leave the silly cares that fill
My mind behind me

[Verse 3]
Somewhere over a rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Oh, if birds can fly over the rainbow
Why, then why can't I?

[Outro]
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh, why can't I?
