    Title:  Somewhere Over the Rainbow
    Artist:Israel Kamakawiwo’ole

    Another lovely song, a  classic from Israel Kamakawiwo’ole.

    Wikipedia:
    Israel “Iz” Kaʻanoʻi Kamakawiwoʻole
    (May 20, 1959 – June 26, 1997) (pronounced [kaˌmakaˌvivoˈʔole]) was a Hawaiian musician.  He became famous outside Hawaiʻi when his album Facing Future was released in 1993 with his medley of “Over the Rainbow” and “What a Wonderful World”, which was subsequently featured in several films, television programs, and commercials.

    Lyrics:

    Ooooo oooooo ohoohohoo
    Ooooo ohooohoo oooohoo
    Ooooo ohoohooo oohoooo
    Oohooo oohoooho ooooho
    Ooooo oooooo oooooo
    Ooooo oooooo oooooo

    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

    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?

    Ooooo oooooo oooooo
    Ooooo oooooo oooooo
    Ooooo oooooo oooooo
    Ooooo oooooo oooooo
    Ooooo oooooo oooooo
    Ooooo oooooo oooooo
