Over the Rainbow, Song of the Day

I woke up singing Over the Rainbow, for some reason.  As much as I talk about being blue, there's something in me still optimistic, I guess - like my Mother.

Best done by Eva Cassidy and Linda Eder, IMHO.  Other than the obvious, Judy Garland.

Over The Rainbow
Songwriters: Arlen, Harold; Harburg, E.Y.;


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?
