Somewhere Over The Rainbow
Selena · Other Songs - Selena
way up high,
there's a land that I heard of
once in a lullaby.
Someday I 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
thatÂ’s where you'll find me!
Somewhere over the rainbow,
Blue birds fly.
Birds fly over the rainbow,
Why then oh why can't I?
