Over the Rainbow / What a Wonderful World

Israel IZ Kamakawiwo'ole

Kay, this one's for Gabby
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Once in a lullaby
Oh, somewhere over the rainbow
Blue birds fly
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Dreams really do come true, ooh-ooh
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
Blue birds 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
Highlight 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?
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ah-ah, yeah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah, ahle
'Kay, this one's for Gabby

The world became a sadder place when you.left us IZ. You made a difference.

[thomasbroekstra]

I played the song for my mom when she was passing. She started hearing it and smiled at me. That was the last time she opened her eyes. I will never forget that moment or this song!!!

What a lovely song from an amazing man. I imagine both my mum and dad and my husband are somewhere over that rainbow. I hope they are listening to this man singing to them alongside him. Love you all and miss you all. Xxx

Fijne Avond Allemaal voor straks Slaap lekker allemaal...gezond weer op is je grootste "RIJKDOM " Welterusten lieverd uitkijken op de weg gevaar ligt op de LOER ❤🇳🇱🙏 👋😘

[EAMCrusher]

This song should be played after every terrible action taken by people just to remind everyone that the majority of us are good, caring and loving people! Don’t let the sensational media influence you into thinking that humanity is evil! Love and empathy will conquer hate…. ❤❤❤

[tessjones]

Music is from another Dimension. Takes us there. Love this singer.

[heathertruskinger]

What a beautiful voice 💕
Gone...but not forgotten

[uyeopph]

Incredibly soft voice...so gentle, soothing and magnificent. The calming effect is like a breath of fresh air. This world lost a valuable gem when Israel passed away. 🌿🌹🌿

[mariab]

No necesitas medicamentos para la relajación, no necesitas nada más que escuchar esta maravillosa voz, que pena que ya no estés aquí, descansa en paz Iz 🙏🌺

[stuartscott]

No matter how often and many times I listen to this it gives me chills. Brudder Iz you are so greatly missed and fondly remembered. Rest in peace. Your short life made the world a better place.

[maureenmckenna]

He will live on through his beautiful, melodious voice, which brought peace and joy to millions.

[retirednavy]

I spent many years of my navy career at Pearl Harbor. Listened to a lot of his music. I was there when he died and like thousands of others I went and paid my respect to Bruddah IZ. RIP my good man, RIP.

[valerielittler]

Big man big heart big soul ❤RIP and lets remember him with this wonderful tune❤

[SusanChristopher-hleq]

Haven't heard this in decades. Just love this original version! God bless Israel!
