Over the Rainbow Songtext
von Frank Sinatra

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

Some day 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 oh, why can't I?

(When all the world is a hopeless jumble)
(And the raindrops tumble all around)
(Heaven opens a magic lane)

To a place behind the sun
Just a step beyond the rain

Somewhere, over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why, oh, why can′t I?

If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why then oh, why can′t I?

If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow
Why oh, why can't I?
