Over The Rainbow Lyrics by Barbra Streisand

Over The Rainbow

Recently Ive been doing some...research for an album that Im planning to do.and I came across what is one of the finest songs I think ever written. but I thought I couldnt sing it, because
S identified with one of the greatest singers who ever lived. but, the lyrics felt so right, so relevant tonight that...what the hell, I decided to sing it. but I would like to dedicate it to th
Nderful woman who first sang it - this woman who I had the privilege of working with and who touched me so deeply. who knows she may even be listening...

When all the world is a hopeless jumble,
And the raindrops tumble all around,
Heaven opens a magic lane.
When all the clouds darken up the skyway
Theres a rainbow highway to be found
Leading from your window pane
To a place behind the sun
Just a step beyond the rain

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,
Way 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 all those little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow...
Why .. oh .. why .. cant i?
