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 for
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?
How have I never heard of Eva Cassidy??? Now I just read that Elton John called her one of three of the perfect voices in the world. So here I am in disbelief. Purity in voice and guitar playing and I'm blown away. RIP Songbird Eva Cassidy. Singing in the Heavenly Choir.
One microphone, one guitar, on one stage, with one stool and one incredibly talented performer! They will never be another Eva Cassidy. Rest with the angels Eva. You are one of them!
Played this at my husband's funeral last year. My heart still cries his name everyday. I can only hope that someday I will hold him in my arms again. Where troubles melt like lemon drops and the clouds are far behind me. I will be looking for him.
I love this song. I lost my wife 5 years ago to a brain aneurysm and Eva singing this heart wrenching version gives me hope that one day I will be reunited with my beautiful soulmate Pam where happy little bluebirds fly somewhere over the rainbow..
