Lyrics:

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you
Dream of once in a lullaby

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
And the dreams that you dream of
Dreams really do come true

Someday I wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemondrops
High above the chimney top
That’s where you’ll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
And the dreams that you dare to
Oh why oh why can’t I

Well I see trees of green and red roses too
I’ll watch them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

Well I see skies of blue and
I see clouds of white
And the brightness of day
I like the dark
And I think to myself what a wonderful world

The colors of the rainbow
So pretty in the sky
and also on the faces of people passing by
I see friends shaking hands saying
How do you do
They’re really saying I, I love you

I hear babies cry and I watch them grow
They’ll learn much more then we’ll know
And I think to myself what a wonderful world world…

Someday I wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemondrops
High above the chimney top
That’s where you’ll find me

Oh somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dare to
Why oh why can’t I…

    He never died. He’s over the rainbow. I don’t care if this comment is similar to another so if it’s something about another, don’t say anything. RIP Israel. ♥️

    My almost 2 month old son has been listening to this song since he was 3 weeks old. This is the only thing to truly get him to settle down.

  • This beautiful song was played at my brother’s funeral- I chose it because it spoke to how I felt about his death at the time… he suffered with mental illness through depression over a long period of time. He lost the love of his life a year before his passing… he died of a brain tumour but I believe he died of a broken heart… his grief was so all consuming. He passed in 2012 but I still think of him every single day. Miss you Nic. Love always and forever your big sis 🙏💕😌

    My son is almost 1. He has listened to this song to settle him to sleep ever since we brought him home from the hospital! It's one of the only songs that will settle him! So thank you for making a 1 hour version.
