When all the clouds darken up the skyway
 
 There's a rainbow highway to be found
 
 Leading from your window pane
 
 To a place behind the Sun
 
 Just a step beyond the rain
 
  
  Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
 
 There's a land that I've heard of once in a lullaby
 
 Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
 
 And the dreams, the dreams
 
 That you dared to dream
 
 Really do come true
  
 
 Some day I'll wish upon a star
 
 And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
 
 Where troubles melt like lemon drops
 
 Away 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 birds fly over the rainbow
 
 Why, then oh, why can't I?
  
 
 If happy little bluebirds fly
 
 Beyond the rainbow
 
 Why, oh, why can't I?
