When all the clouds darken up the sky way
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
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 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?
