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 my 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'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...
Some day 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 chimmney 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?
Writer(s): E.y. Harburg, Harold Arlen
