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
Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true
Someday 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 chimney 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?
