Israel Kamakawiwoʻole - Somewhere over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World

      It's been six months since my husband and I traveled the Big Island, Hawaii. I can't believe how fast time goes by! This song, Somewhere Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World by Israel Kamakawiwoʻole, reminds me of our traveling Hawaii. :)

Lyrics

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Once in a lullaby
 

Somewhere over the rainbow
Blue birds fly
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Dreams really do come true ooh oh
 

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 tops
That's where you'll find me
 

Oh, somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
And the dream that you dare to,
Oh why, oh why can't I?
 

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 world
 

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?
