Somewhere Over The Rainbow
How phenominal of a song is Somewhere Over the Rainbow?!?
I haven't really listened to it since watching the Wizard of Oz as a kid, but it's awesome. I really like the hawiian version by Israel Kamakawiwo' Ole rather than the americanized version... the music is so much better. It's all flowy and mellow. You just can't help but bob along to the music and think happy thoughts. And we all need happy thought every once in a while. (I know I do!) Espically now that school is almost over and I'm getting ready to go to college and start my own life. It's stressful this transition from "kid" to "adult". I'm not sure that I'm ready for it yet, but it's being pushed on me anyway so I better get that way soon! Anyway-- back to the happy thoughts...
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow
Blue birds fly
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Dreams really do come true
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 tops is where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
And the dreams that you dare to, oh why, oh why can't I?
Well I see trees of green and Red roses too,
I'll watch then 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 tops is where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
And the dreams that you dare to, ... why, oh why can't I
