Over the Rainbow (Duet Version) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true

[Verse 2]
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far
Behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

[Bridge]
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?

[Outro]
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

“Somewhere Over The Rainbow” is a song about happiness and always looking past the bad over the rainbow to the good side.

“Where troubles melt like lemon drops” is an example of a simile. This describes that you should think in the future and let all your troubles melt away. It is a comparison using like or as.

Hyperbole is shown in this example “Someday I’ll wish upon a star and wake up where the clouds are far behind me” this is a hyperbole as it is obviously an extreme exaggeration.

“Somewhere over the rainbow” is a repetition. This is a line said throughout the whole sign and it is just repeating over and over again.

Imagery is shown in the line “skies are blue” also “away above the chimney tops” this gives the listener of the song a nice image to picture while listening to the song. When those lines are said i think of bright blue skies, and being high up in the sky.
