Over The Rainbow Lyrics

Artist: Glenn Miller
Album: Over The Rainbow

Over the Rainbow

Initially sung by Judy Garland in the 1939 film "The Wizard of Oz"
Words by E. Y. Harburg, Music by Harold Arlen
Four versions charted in 1939: Glenn Miller (# 1); Bob Crosby (# 2); Judy
Garland (# 5); and Larry Clinton (# 10).
Later charted in 1960 by The Demensions at # 16
Later charted in 1978 by Gary Tanner at # 69.

Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
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
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 then, oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?
