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 top
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
Singing, "How do you do?"
They're really singing, "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?

 

 

 

 

I have been SO busy lately, most days I feel like I forget my own name. I get so wrapped up in what is next and what we need to do next.  I forget to stop and look at the wonderful world I am surrounded by everyday! The world itself, my kids, my husband, my job, my house.... the things I look at everyday. This song by IZ, Israel Kamakawiwo`Ole combines both things... to me, it's about the dreaming of what's over the rainbow and realizing what a wonderful life it is. I feel like this is exactly where I am right now. Still dreaming of what can be, and what will be.... and all the wonderful things I already have <3

Both things motivate me today and every day.

 

Happy Monday Friends!
