"Over The Rainbow" lyrics - KRISTIN CHENOWETH

KRISTIN CHENOWETH
"Over The Rainbow"
(Harold Arlen / E.Y. "Yip" Harburg)

When all the world is a hopeless jumbo
And the raindrops tumble all around
Heaven opens a magic lane
When all the clouds open up the skyway
There's a rainbow highway to be found
Leading from your window pane
To a place beyond the sun
Just a step beyond the rain

[Chorus 1:]
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

[Chorus 2:]
Someday I wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Way up above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

[Post-Chorus:]
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?
