somewhere over the rainbow...

Watched a highschool production of various broadway hits in a concert format. Students singing and some professional artists donating their time to raise some funds. I don't usually appreciate broadway shows because i don't appreciate the dialogues sang at all. I prefer the regular stage plays with all talkies.

One student made a marvelous rendition of "somewhere over the rainbow" with acoustic guitar accompanying her... awesome. made me cry.

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.


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.


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?
