SOMEWHERE 1:
Somewhere over the rainbow - way up high
There’s a land that I heard of once in a lullaby
SOMEWHERE 2:
Somewhere over the rainbow - bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow, why then, oh why can’t I?
BRIDGE:
Someday I’ll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
High above the chimney top
That’s where - you’ll find me
[REPEAT SOMEWHERE 1]
WONDERFUL WORLD:
I see trees of green and - red roses too
I watch them bloom for - me and you
And I - think to myself - what a wonderful world
I see skies of blue and - clouds of white
The bright blessed day - the dark sacred night
And I - think to myself - what a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow - so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces - of people passin by
I see friends shakin hands sayin - “How do ya do”
They’re really sayin “I - I love you
I hear babies cry and I - watch them grow
They’ll learn much more - than we all know
And I - think to myself - what a wonderful wo-o-orld - wo-o-orld
[REPEAT BRIDGE]
