Katharine Mcphee - Somewhere Over The Rainbow Lyrics


Katharine Mcphee Lyrics

Somewhere Over The Rainbow Lyrics
When all the clouds darken up the skyway
There's a rainbow highway to be found
Leading from your window pain
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 of
Once in a lullaby

Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt lemon drops
Away 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 happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh, why can't I

Somewhere Over The Rainbow Info:

• Harold Arlen & E.Y. Harburg share writing credits on this song originally performed by Judy Garland for the 1939 film 'The Wizard of Oz'

• Katharine McPhee's cover of the song was released as her debut single in 2006 and peaked at #12 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

• MGM chief executive Louis B. Mayer originally wanted the song removed from the film because it 'slowed down the picture' and that 'our star sings it in a barnyard'. Executive producer Arthur Freed changed his mind.
