Rufus Wainwright - Somewhere Over The Rainbow lyrics

Music written by Harold Arlen, lyrics by E.Y. "Yip" Harburg.

Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high

There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby

Somewhere over that 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 high above the chimney tops

That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly

Birds fly over that rainbow

Why, oh, why can't I?

If happy little bluebirds fly above the rainbow

Why, oh, why can't I?
