Lyrics

Some

where

o ver the rain bow, way

up

high,

there’s

a

land that I heard of once in a lul la by.

Some

where

o ver the rain bow, skies

are

blue,

and

the

dreams that you dare to dream real ly do come true.

Some day I’ll wish up on a star and wake up where the clouds are far be hind

me.

Where trou bles melt like lem on drops, a way, a bove the chim ney tops, that’s where

you’ll

find

me.

Some

where

o ver the rain bow blue

birds

fly.

Birds

fly

o ver the rain bow, why then, oh, why can’t I?

If hap py lit tle blue birds fly be yond the rain bow, why, oh, why can’t I?
