Recently I?ve been doing some...research for an album that I?m planning to do.And I came across what is one of the finest songs I think ever written. But I thought I couldn?t sing it, because it?s identified with one of the greatest singers who ever lived. But, the lyrics felt so right, so relevant tonight that...what the hell, I decided to sing it. But I would like to dedicate it to this wonderful woman who first sang it - this woman who I had the privilege of working with and who touched me so deeply. Who knows she may even be listening...
When all the world is a hopeless jumble, And the raindrops tumble all around, Heaven opens a magic lane. When all the clouds darken up the skyway There´s a rainbow highway to be found Leading from your window pane 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. 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, Way 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 all those little bluebirds fly Beyond the rainbow... Why .. oh .. why .. can´t I?
Cette chanson est une reprise. Sa version originale a été créée par Judy Garland
