Ray Charles – somewhere, over the rainbow Lyric

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.

i know somewhere, over the rainbow, the bluebirds fly.
birds fly over the rainbow,
why then - oh, why can't i?

oh, somewhere, over the rainbow, bluebirds fly.
birds fly over the rainbow,
why then - oh, why can't i?

if happy little bluebirds fly
across the rainbow
Why, oh, why can't I?
