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 window pane
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 lullaby
And somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly oh
Birds can fly over the rainbow
Why then why can't I
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
Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
Oh hmm birds can fly over the rainbow
Why then why can't I
Someday I'll wake and rub my eyes
And in that land beyond the skies you'll find
Me
I'll be a laugh in daffodil
And leave the silly cares that fill my mind behind me
Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
Oh if birds can fly over the rainbow
Why then why can't I
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow why oh why can't
I
