Over The Rainbow
Harry Connick Jr. · Other Songs - Harry Connick Jr.
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
Someday I'll wish upon a star
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 then oh, why can't I?
Why then why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow
Why, oh, why can't I?
