Somewhere Over theRainbow - Harold Arlen

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
Behond the rainbow
Why oh why can't I

Over the Rainbow
- As performed by Judy Garland in the film The Wizard of Oz, 1939
(pre-recorded October 7, 1938)
- Music by Harold Arlen, lyrics by E.Y. "Yip" Harburg

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?

-------------------------------------------------------

Reprise Cut from the Movie
(Judy sang this reprise 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 daffodil
and 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 jumble
and 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?

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

Where troubles melt like lemon drops

Away, above the chimney top


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 bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow

Why then, oh, why can't I

when all the world is a hopless jumble


and the raindrops tumble all around

heaven opens a magic lane
when all the clouds darken up the sky-ways


there's a rainbow highway to be found

Leading from your windowpaen


To a place behind the sun

Just a step beyond the rain....

Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
Theres' a land that I heard of
Once in a lullabye.

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 skies 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?

Someday I'll wake and rub my eyes

And in that land beyond the skies
You'll find me


I'll be a laughing daffodil

And leave the sil'vry cares that fill
My world behind me

Somewhere over the rainbow
Blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow

Why then oh why can't I?
