Somewhere over the Rainbow - What a Wonderful World lyrics

Somewhere over the rainbow,

way up high

and the dreams that you dream of

once in a lullaby.

Somewhere over the rainbow

blue birds fly.

And the dreams that you dream of,

dreams really do come true.

Some day I 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

blue birds fly

and the dream that you dare to...

oh ! why, oh why can't I ?

Well I see trees of green land, 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 I see clouds of white

and the brightness of day, I like the dark

and I think to myself : What a wonderful world !

The colours 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 !

Some day I 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 dream that you dare to :

Why, oh why can't I ?
