Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World
by Israel Kamakawiwo&9ole(IZ,1959-1997)
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&9ll 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&9s where you&9ll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
And the dreams that you dare to
oh why, oh why can&9t I?
Well I see trees of green and red roses too,
I&9ll 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&9re really saying , I I love you
I hear babies cry and I watch them grow,
They&9ll learn much more than we&9ll know
And I think to myself
what a wonderful world
Someday I&9ll 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&9s where you&9ll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
And the dreams that you dare to
oh why, oh why can&9t I?
