Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Once in a lullaby ii ii iii o
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 that's where you'll find me oh
Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds 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 [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/i/israel_kamakawiwoole/somewhere_over_the_rainbow.html ]
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 (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?
I see this song as in sometime, everyone will die, and he wants to be above everything else, to gaze down at the earth.

I sang this song to my baby before she was born, during her short life and as i held her after life left her body. I played it at her funeral as well... This song's meaning for me and my family is simply stated as, my baby is now up there... Where there's no pain, no troubles, just beautiful open sky where's she's free to be anything she wants to be. No one, no doctors are telling her what she will and will not be able to do, because up there... She's healthy and completely able to live life any way her soul so chooses.
I love this song, has a lot of meaning to it, i actually perfer israels's version (its sad how he died already) but its more like a postive song, dreams do come true if u fight for them, because this is a wonderful world, and life is beautiful... It just depends how you look at it. But i can personally say this is one of my fav songs! :) i can personally relate to this, as i kno others can as well.
I love this song soo much it relly does have a great meaning to it this song is trying to put out is that somewhere your dreams are kept away from you but all you need to do is open them and there they will lay jsut waitng for you to come and catch them i love this song sooo much thnk you,
