Somewhere Over the Rainbow - Israel Kamakawiwo'ole

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 Skies are blue And the dreams that you dare to dream Really do come true 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?

When all the world is a hopeless jumble And the raindrops tumble all around Heaven opens a magic lane When all the cloud darken up the skyway There's a rainbow highway to be found Leading from your windowpane To a place behind the sun Just a step beyond the rain Somewhere over rainbow way up high There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby And somewhere over rainbow blue birds fly Oh, if birds can fly over rainbow Why, then why can't I? Some day I'll wish upon a star And wake up where the clouds are far behind me And troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops that's where you'll find me Somewhere over rainbow bluebirds fly If birds can fly over the rainbow Why, then why can't I? Someday I'll wake and rub my eyes And in that land beyond the skies you'll find me I'll be a laughing daffodil And leave the silly cares that fill my mind behind me Somewhere over rainbow bluebirds fly If birds can fly over the rainbow Why, then why can't I? If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow Why, oh, why can't I?

Ooo ooo ooo Ooo ooo ooo Somewhere over the rainbow Way up high And the dreams that you dreamed of Once in a lullaby Oh somewhere over the rainbow Bluebirds fly And the dreams that you dreamed of Dreams really do come true Someday I'll wish upon a star Wake up where the clouds are far behind me Where trouble melts like lemon drops High above the chimney tops that's where you'll find me Oh somewhere over the rainbow Bluebirds fly And the dreams that you dare to Oh why, oh why can't I? Oh someday I'll wish upon a star Wake up where the clouds are far behind me Where trouble melts like lemon drops High above the chimney tops 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, I? Ooo ooo ooo Ooo ooo ooo Ooo, ah ah...

I'm waiting on a warm and sunny seashore Yearning for the one that I adore My heart is true, I'm thinking of you Forever, I'll love you, Kainoa I see a sunbeam dancing on the water Surfing on a wave that comes to shore The promise in that beam is a long awaited dream Which tells me that you love me, Kainoa Now day is done the sun sets Kainoa Stars are peek a booing from above The moon gets brighter still in my heart, I feel a thrill The trade winds say you love me, Kainoa The silvery moon is shining on the land Casting palmy shadows on the sand They dance beneath the moon while the breezes hum a tune They do this 'cause they love you, Kainoa Kainoa, I love you, you
