Somewhere over the rainbow is to many people, including myself, one of the bests songs from the twentieth century.

Written by Harold Arlen (music) and Yip Harburg (lyrics) for Wizard of the Oz (1939), performed by Judy Garland.

Lyrics:

Somewhere over the rainbow
way up high
theres 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

some day I'll wish upon a star
and wake up where the clouds are far behind me
where troubles melt like lemondrops
away above the chimney tops
thats 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?

If you found a good version, let me know and I add it to the list!

Cheers
