Somewhere over the rainbow,
way up high
and the dreams that you dream of
once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow
blue birds fly.
And the dreams that you dream of,
dreams really do come true.
Some day I wish upon a star,
wake up where the clouds are far behind me,
where trouble melts like lemon drops,
high above the chimney top :
That's where you'll find me.
Somewhere over the rainbow
blue birds fly
and the dream that you dare to...
oh ! why, oh why can't I ?
Well I see trees of green land, red roses too.
I'll watch them bloom for
me and you
and I think to myself : What a wonderful world !
Well I see skies of blue and I see clouds of white
and the brightness of day, I like the dark
and I think to myself : What a wonderful world !
The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky,
are also on the faces of people passing by.
I see friends shaking hands, saying "How do you do ?".
They're really saying "I, I love you !".
I hear babies cry and I watch them grow,
they'll learn much more than we'll know
and I think to myself : What a wonderful world, ... world !
Some day I wish upon a star,
wake up where the clouds are far behind me,
where trouble melts like lemon drops,
high above the chimney top :
That's where you'll find me.
Oh ! somewhere over the rainbow
way up high
and the dream that you dare to :
Why, oh why can't I ?
