Over the Rainbow Songtext
von Ella Fitzgerald

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

When all the clouds darken up the skyway
There′s a rainbow highway to be found
Leading from your windowpane
To a place behind the sun
Just a step beyond the rain

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 blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh I, can′t I?

Someday I 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 blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why, then oh, why can′t I?
If happy little blue birds fly behind the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?
