Somewhere Over The Rainbow
Goo Goo Dolls · Other Songs - Goo Goo Dolls
Way up high
And the dreams that you dream of
once in the love
will bye oh
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
And the dreams that you dream of
dreams really do come true.
Someday I'll wish upon a star
with a bed of flowers are far behind.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
High above the chimney top
ThatÂ’s were
You'll find me.
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
And the dreams that you did too
oh why, oh why
CanÂ’t I.
Well I see trees of green men, with roses too
I watch them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Well I see skies of blue
And I see clouds of white
And the brightness of day
I like the dark
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow
So pretty in the sky
I also want the fee sing
Of people passing bye
I see friends shaking hands singing
How do you do
They really sing
I I love you
I hear babies crying
And I watch them grow
They learn much more
Than we all know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Someday I'll wish upon a star
with a bed of flowers are far behind
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
High above the chimney tops
ThatÂ’s where
YouÂ’ll find me.
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you did too
Why, oh why
CanÂ’t I Â…
