Somewhere Over The Rainbow

Israel Kamamawio'ole

somewhere over the rainbow,

way up high,

in a dream 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 troubles melt like lemon drops,

high above the chiminey tops,

that's where you'll find me,



oh 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,

waht a wonderful world

well i see skies of blue and,

clouds of white,

the brightness of day,

i like the night,

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 all know,

and i think to myself,

what a wonderful 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 chiminey tops,

that's where you'll find me,



oh somewhere over the rainbow,

way up high,

and the dreams that you dream do,

why, oh why can't i
