Over The Rainbow

Over The Rainbow
C 2009 Nick Baker Music BMI, Words & Music by E.Y. Harburg & Harold Arlen. C P EMI Feist Catalog Inc. Intro by Nick Baker

When the world is like a hopeless jungle and the dark clouds tumble all around, heaven opens up a magic lane. And when all the clouds darken up the skyway, there’s a rainbow highway to be found, just leading by your windowpane. 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’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, 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?
