Over the Rainbow Songtext
von Billy Stewart

Somewhere over the rainbow, it′s way up high
There's a land that I once dreamed of, once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
The dreams, the dreams, the dreams that I once dreamed of
Someday I hope they come true

Someday I′ll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far
So far down, so far down behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you can find me


Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds, I said, how they flap their wings and fly down
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why, why, why, why can't I?

Someday I′ll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far
So far down behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That′s where you can find me

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds, oh, they flap their wings and fly down
Birds fly over the rainbow
Oh, why?
I said a-somebody please a-come and a-tellin', a-tellin′, a-tellin'
A-tellin′, a-tellin', a-tellin′, a-
Tellin', a-tellin', a-tellin′ me why
Can′t I?


Oh, why?
