Lyrics Somewhere over the Rainbow - Les Paul, Chet Atkins

Somewhere over the Rainbow

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
someday i ll wish upon a star
and wake up where the clouds are for
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?
if happy little bluebirds fly
beyond the rainbow
why, oh why can t i?
