Lyrics Rufus Wainwright

Rufus Wainwright

Over the Rainbow

Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high

There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby

Somewhere over that 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 far behind me

Where troubles melt like lemon drops,

High above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly

Birds fly over that rainbow

Why, oh why, can't I?

If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow

Why, oh why, can't I?
