Heaven opens a magic lane
Leading from your window pane
Birds fly over the rainbow, why, then oh, why can't I?
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true
To a place behind the sun, just a step beyond the rain
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
Away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me
Birds fly over the rainbow why, then oh why can't I?
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow
There's a rainbow highway to be found
When all the clouds darken up the skyway
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Someday day I'll wish upon a star
Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
Someday I'll wish upon a star
Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly
Away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me
