Over The Rainbow Lyrics - Maureen Mcgovern

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 windowpane 

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 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 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, why can't I? 

If happy little bluebirds fly 

Beyond the rainbow, 

Why, oh, why can't I?
