ENJOY THE SONG AND ENJOY THE WORLD IN
IMAGINATION Lyrics Over the Rainbow/What a
Wonderful World   Somewhere over the rainbow(??)
way up highAnd the dreams that you dream of once
in a lullaby(???)Somewhere over the rainbow
bluebirds flyAnd the dreams that you dream of,
dreams really do come trueSomeday I'll wish upon
a star,wake up where the clouds are far behind
meWhere trouble melts(??) like lemon(??)
dropsHigh above the chimney tops, that's where
you'll find me
6
Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds flyAnd 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 them bloom(??) for me and youAnd
I think to myself, what a wonderful worldWell I
see skies of blueand I see clouds of white and
the brightness of dayI like the darkand I think
to myself, what a wonderful world
7
The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the
skyare also on the faces of people passing byI
see friends shaking hands saying,How do you
do?They're really saying , I I love youI hear
babies cry and I watch them grow,They'll learn
much more than we'll knowAnd I think to myself,
what a wonderful world
8
Someday Ill wish upon a star,wake up where the
clouds are far behind meWhere trouble melts(??)
like lemon dropsHigh above the chimney tops,
that's where you'll find meSomewhere over the
rainbow way up highAnd the dreams that you dare
to, oh why, oh why can't I?
