"Over the Rainbow"
Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwoʻole 

somewhere over the rainbow way up high
and the dreams that you dreamed of
once in a lullaby ii ii iii
somewhere over the rainbow blue birds fly
and the dreams that you dreamed 

of dreams really do come true ooh ooooh
someday I'll wish upon a star
wake up where the clouds 

are far behind me ee ee eeh
where trouble melts like lemon drops
high above the chimney tops 

thats where you'll find me oh
somewhere over the rainbow blue birds fly 

and the dream that you dare to, 

why, oh why can't I? i iiii

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
are 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 than we'll know
and I think to myself what a wonderful world

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 top 

that's where you'll find me 

oh, somewhere over the rainbow way up high
and the dream that you dare to, 

why, oh why can't I? I hiii ?
