Lyrics:E.Y.'Yip'Harburg
Music:Harold Arlen
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 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?
