Over The Rainbow-30sec.smpl
Iz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
And the dreams that you dream of, once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds fly
And the dreams that you dream of, dreams really do come true

Someday I'll wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Where trouble melts like lemon drops,
High above the chimney top,
That's where you'll find me.

Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly
And the dream that you dare to
Why, oh why can't I?

I see trees of green, red roses too
I watch them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

Well I see skies of blue, and I see clouds of white
The brightness of day, I like the dark
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people passing by
I see friends shakin' hands, sayin' 'How do you do?'
They're really say I, I love you

I hear babies cryin', and I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than we'll know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

Someday I'll wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Where trouble melts like lemon drops,
High above the chimney top,
That's where you'll find me.

Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high




And the dream that you dare to
Why, oh why can't I?

This is awesome, just what I needed. Question 🙋🏾‍♀️ can I make a memoji video and upload on YouTube or will i ran into copyright issues? Thanks

Techboomers

Yes you can!

Lilyan Kay

@Techboomers thank you so much 😊

John Barbuto

@Techboomers Unfortunately, this answer would apply to either clause in the question (yes, you can make one; and yes, you will run into copyright issues). Is that what you meant?

John Barbuto

I would like to make an animoji video of somewhat longer duration. Holding the record button is limiting. Do you know of any external device that will control the record button on the Apple Clips app?

Techboomers

Hi John, when holding down the record button on the Clips app you should see a small lock appear above the record button. Slide your finger upwards to the lock icon and then you can let go and not have to hold the record button anymore! When you want to stop recording, just tap the record button again to stop. Hope that helps!

Techboomers

Memoji is for iPhone only.
