Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There'a a land taht I heard of
Once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow
And the dream that you dare to dream
Really come true
Some day I wish upon a star
To wake up where the clouds are far
Behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimneys tops
That's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow
Blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then Oh! Why can't I
Somewhere over the rainbow
Blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then Oh! Why can't I
If happy little bleubirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why Oh! Why can't I
