Oooooo... <br />Somewhere over the rainbow, <br />Way up high. <br />There's a land that I heard of, <br />Once in a lullaby. <br />Somewhere over the rainbow, <br />Skies are blue. <br />And the dreams that you dare to dream, <br />Really do come true. <br />Someday I'll wish upon a star, <br />And wake up where the clouds are far behind me. <br />Where troubles melt like lemon drops, <br />High above the chimney tops. <br />That's where you'll find me. <br />Somewhere over the rainbow, <br />Bluebirds fly. <br />They fly over the rainbow, <br />Why then - oh, why can't I? <br />I see trees of green, red roses too. <br />I watch them bloom for me and you. <br />And I think to myself, <br />What a wonderful world. <br />Well, I see skies of blue and I see clouds of white. <br />The brightness of day and light, darkness of night. <br />And I think to myself, <br />What a wonderful world. <br />The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky, <br />Are also on the faces of people passin' by. <br />I see friends shakin' hands, saying "How do you do!" <br />They're really sayin' "I love you." <br />I hear babies cry and I watch them grow. <br />They'll learn much more than I'll ever know. <br />And I think to myself, <br />What a wonderful world. <br />Someday I'll wish upon a star, <br />And wake up where the clouds are far behind me. <br />Where troubles melt like lemon drops, <br />High above the chimney tops. <br />That's where you'll find me. <br />Somewhere over the rainbow, <br />Way up high. <br />Birds fly over the rainbow, <br />Why then - oh, why can't I? <br />Oooooo... <br /> <br />Songwriters: David Steele / Everett Morton / Andrew Cox / David Wakeling / Roger Charlery
