Somewhere Over The Rainbow
Jerry Lee Lewis · Other Songs - Jerry Lee Lewis
There's a land that I've 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
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops,
High above the chimney tops,
That'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?
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?
Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
There's a land that I've 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
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops,
High above the chimney tops,
That'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?
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?
Somewhere Over The Rainbow - Jerry Lee Lewis
Jerry Lee Lewis delivers a powerhouse rendition of 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow,' channeling the raw energy and rhythmic drive characteristic of his rock and roll style. While the song is famously associated with Judy Garland, Lewis transforms it into a driving, upbeat track that showcases his signature percussive guitar work and frenetic stage presence. This recording captures the essence of his early career, blending the emotional depth of the original composition with the aggressive, danceable tempo that defined his contributions to rock music in the 1950s. The performance stands as a testament to his ability to reinterpret classic material through the lens of his unique, high-energy approach to the genre.
