Ooo ooo ooo

Ooo ooo ooo

Somewhere over the rainbow

Way up high

And the dreams that you dream 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

Wake up where the clouds are far behind me

Where trouble melts like lemon drops

High above the chimney tops

That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow

Bluebirds fly

Birds fly, over the rainbow

Oh why, oh why can't I?

Well, I see

Trees of green and red roses too,

I'll watch them bloom for me and you

And I think to myself,

What a wonderful world.

Well I see,

Skies of blue and 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.

Oh 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 tops

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?

Ooo ooo ooo

Ooo ooo ooo

Ooo, ah ah
