Somewhere Over The Rainbow
Tori Amos · Other Songs - Tori Amos
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
one 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 bluebirds fly
birds fly over the rainbow
why oh why can't i
where troubles melt like lemon drops
away above the chimney tops
that's where you'll find me
somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
birds fly over the rainbow
why then oh why can't i
