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 dreamed 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 laughter falls
Like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me ...
Somewhere, over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams
That you dare to dream
Really do come true.
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh, why can't I?
