When all the clouds, darken up the skyway
There's a rainbow highway to be found

Leading from your window pane
To place, behind the sun
Just a step beyond the rain?


Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
There's a place that I heard of once

In a lullaby

Someday I'll wish upon a star

And wake up where the clouds are far
Behind me
Where troubles melt, like lemon drops

A way above the chimney 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?

If happy little blue birds fly

Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh, why can't I?
