Someplace where there isn`t any trouble . . .Do you suppose there is such a place, Toto?
There must be.It`s not a place you can get to by a boat or a train.It`s far, far away . . .
Behind the moon, beyond the rain
Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high,There`s a land that I heard of once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blueAnd the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.
Someday I`ll wish upon a starAnd 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, bluebirds fly,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?
Reprise (from scene in the witch`s castle)
Someday I`ll wake and rub my eyes,And in that land beyond the skies you`ll find me.
I`ll be a laughing daffodilAnd leave the silly cares that fill my mind behind me.
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow,Why oh why can`t I?
Complete Lyrics from the Original Sheet Music
When all the world is a hopeless jumbleAnd the raindrops tumble all around,Heaven opens a magic lane.
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 heard of once in a lullaby,
Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue,And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.
Someday 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 bluebirds fly.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?
