Recently, I've been doing some re
search
for an album that I'm planning to do.
And I came across what is one of the finest songs,
I think, ever written.
But I thought I couldn't sing it
because it's identified with one of the greatest
singers who ever lived.
But the lyrics felt so right,
so relevant to night
that what the hell, I decided to sing it.
But I would like to dedicate it
to this wonderful woman
who first sang it.
This woman who I had the
privilege of working with
and who touched me so deeply.
Who knows, she may even be listening.
When all the world is a hopeless jumble,
and the raindrops tumble all around,
heaven opens a
magic lane.
When all the clouds darken
up the skyway,
there's a rainbow highway to be found.
Leading from your window pane
To a place behind the sun
Just a step beyond the rain
Somewhere over the rainbow,
way up high,
There's a land that I heard
at once in a lullaby.
Somewhere
over the rainbow,
skies are blue
An d the dreams that
you dare to dream
Some day I'll wish upon a star
and wake up
where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops,
way above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow,
why then oh why can't I?
If all those little bluebirds fly,
beyond the rainbow,
Oh, why, oh, why can't I?
You
