Over the Rainbow Songtext

von Harold Arlen

Way up high
And the dreams that you dream of
Once in a lullaby

Oh

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
And the dreams that you dream of
Dreams really do come true

Someday I'll wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind - me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney top
That's where - You'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
And the dreams that you dare to
Oh why, oh why can't I?

Well I see trees of green and red roses too
I watch them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself - what a wonderful world.

Well I see skies of blue and I see clouds of white
And the brightness of day, I like the dark
And I think to myself - what a wonderful world.

The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people passing by
I see friends shaking hands, saying "How do you do?"
They're really saying I - I love you.

I hear babies cry and I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than we'll know
And I think to myself what a wonderful world - world

Someday I'll wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind - me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney top
That's where - You'll find me

Oh

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dare to
Why, oh why can't I? I?
