Ooooo oooooo ohoohohoo
Ooooo ohooohoo oooohoo
Ooooo ohoohooo oohoooo
Oohooo oohoooho ooooho
Ooooo oooooo oooooo
Ooooo oooooo oooooo

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 top 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 watch them bloom for me and you
And I think to my self
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 my self
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
Singing, "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 (w)oohoorld

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 ?

Ooooo oooooo oooooo
Ooooo oooooo oooooo
Ooooo oooooo oooooo
Ooooo oooooo oooooo
Ooooo oooooo oooooo
Ooooo oooooo oooooo

1 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal This a such great song. Heard loads of versions of it all very nice. This song moved me deeply in the ER episode where Dr Greene dies of a brain tumour. Dr Greene was one of the reasons I went into my chosen career and he died listening to 'his' song, making this song extra special to me.

3 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I want to listen to this song when I die It's simply the best song EVER... It made me realize that I wanted to work in McDonald's... I'm so happy that I finally realized what I wanted to do... I thank God and this song for that R.I.P.

3 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I must say, this is not a good song to listen to after your girlfriend just broke up with you . Not because it's bad, but just because it's one of the most beautiful songs i've ever heard.

6 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal believe it or not, the first time i heard it was in a television-commercial... and then in the movie 'finding forester' from that moment i just had to find out were it came from absolute amazing!

26 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal FINALLY I NOW KNOW THE SONG THAT'S ON THE FREAKIN' YOGURT AND RICE KRISPY COMMERCIALS!!! It's been bugging the hell out of me. I love the song despite my rather rude introduction to my post. I havent' really heard of the artist. Just heard the song EVERYWHERE and found a credit at the end of a clip on Youtube and found the song and fell out of my chair shocked that I finally found it. So, yeah. I love the song. Beautiful voice, peaceful song. This is a song to listen too while cloud watching or star gazing. =D
