Over the Rainbow

[Intro] Recently I've been doing some, um 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 it'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 this Wonderful 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... [Verse] 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 [Chorus] 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?
