Eva Cassidy - Over The Rainbow Lyrics






Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
In the land that I heard of once, 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

[Instrumental]

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 skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true

If happy little blue birds fly above the rainbow
Why oh why can't I?

    Beautiful , God bless her.

  2. P.... A....

    Somehow a woman became part of a guitar who became part of a beautiful song.

    My dad's funeral had this playing, I honestly can't help but cry when this is played.

    Truly beautifully.

    A loss to me from my father and a loss to the world for Eva.

    Hope you're up there over the rainbow dad. Love you xx

  27. J.... W....

    This is, simply, an astonishing performance; she transcends a ordinary tune and banal lyrics and makes them into an almost unbearably moving work of art. I remember when this version was released in the late 1990s that I belonged to a gym which used to play music videos to pass the time while you exercised. The first time this video came on we all, one by one, stopped what we were doing and listened transfixed. After that the members got used to my sobbing my heart out whilst trying to keep up with the treadmill, and I wasn't the only one. A beautiful person who made beautiful music.

  28. j.... ....

    14 million people wept while listening to this ......

  29. B.... G....

    They need angels over the rainbow they never stay long time here

  30. B.... A....

    My lovely wife Nan loved Eva singing this song I hope she hears Eva up there over the rainbow, my wife is up there with you Eva.

  31. R.... B....

    Just.... Wow!

  32. R.... B....

    Some kind of special spirit is ruminating throughout her like magic. It's breathtaking.

    As a musician and singer, and after 62 years on the planet, I've never heard a more expressive or soulful voice. Eva is a rare & stunning talent. You will always live on in your songs Eva. Much love!

    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.

  49. m.... g....

  52. N.... D....

    Eva & I were both born in 1963, I am now 56 and just think THIS performance in a small pub mind you, NO PRODUCTION !!  ...is as close to perfection as it can get !  Like Vincent Van Gough , she became an ICON after her death....very moving indeed !

  53. M.... S....

  60. u.... ....

    Doesn't it seem that time stops during this song? The very first note is different than the traditional recordings, and as you continue to listen, the beauty just overwhelms you and you might as well just give up, it's over. Let go and just listen, or feel, or merge- something happens that is special and wonderful.

  61. 1.... ....

    Sometimes when I hear this, I feel like it's the end of music. I mean, what do you do after that?

  62. M.... M....

    Played this at my Fathers funeral back in 2003, he loved her voice.
    Rest in peace Eva and Dad xx

  63. A.... M....

    Wow this live performance is so peaceful to watch everytime I watch it I have to sing along! and this is one of the best versions of the song!! We love you so much Eva xo Rest In Peace your a voice of an angel💕 and your spirit will live on forever ♾ and I will hopefully sing your songs as covers and remember how lovely you always were!! ❤️

  65. D.... P....

    I still remember where I was at the moment I first heard Eva Cassidy - on a cheap car radio, headed to BWI, and on came Autumn Leaves, the live version. Quite literally brought tears to my eyes, though I had no idea what I was listening to. RIP Eva, and thanks forever for leaving this live recording and many others. You live on.

  66. o.... s....

    Comment est-il possible que 2800 personnes n'aiment pas votre prestation,? En vous écoutant je suis très ému, vous avez une voix d'ange...et un physique très agréable, je serrais même à dire que je souhaiterais une femme comme vous à mes côtés. très bonne continuation <3

  67. R.... T....

    Em Algum Lugar Além do Arco-íris<><>tradução em português <><>#EvaCassidy - Over The Rainbow
    Em algum lugar além do arco-íris, lá no alto,
    Num lugar que ouvi falar uma vez em uma canção de ninar.
    Em algum lugar além do arco-íris os céus são azuis
    E os sonhos que você ousa sonhar se realizam de verdade.


    Um dia vou fazer um desejo para uma estrela
    Acordar onde as nuvens estão bem atrás de mim.
    Onde os problemas se derretem como gotas de limão
    Onde você ultrapassa o alto das chaminés
    É lá que você vai me encontrar.



    Um dia vou fazer um desejo para uma estrela
    Acordar onde as nuvens estão bem atrás de mim.
    Onde os problemas se derretem como gotas de limão
    Onde você ultrapassa o alto das chaminés
    É lá que você vai me encontrar.


    Em algum lugar além do arco-íris os céus são azuis
    E os sonhos que você ousa sonhar se realizam de verdade.


    Se passarinhos azuis voam felizes
    Além do arco-iris por que, porque eu não posso?

    I am hearing this version of Somewhere Over The Rainbow for the first time today by the late Eva Cassidy. I also didn't know she had passed until hearing the song and goggling her name to only find she died in 1996. What a loss to the music industry. This version is the most beautiful version I have ever heard. I cried listening to her voice. Such a talent to have only been lost way to soon. R.I.P Eva......what heaven must sound like now!!

  78. I.... C....

    Que linda musica, tempos que nao volta mais!

  79. R.... B....

    To my sweet furry baby Jasper, I miss you and love you. My heart breaks from the loss of you. I wish I could hug you and hold you close to me again. You were the best part of my day. And the comfort and joy you brought into my life immeasurable. You loved me unconditionally and taught me how to do the same. You opened my heart in ways I can not describe. I hope you knew you meant the world to me, my sweet Jasper. My world feels empty without you. And the only thing that gives me some comfort is knowing you're not in pain anymore. I pray I made the right choice by you, for I didn't want to see you suffer. You are in my heart forever and the memories of you my greatest treasure. Thank you for being in my life, for loving me and teaching me what it means to be love. Forever your best friend. I love you my sweet fur baby.💜🐈🐾💜

  80. P.... M....

    Breathless

  81. R.... T....

    Every time. Brings me to that lump in the throat.

  82. m.... s....

    Mersmerizing.......I'm glued to her every note...what an amazing talent....so glad I was introduced to her voice.....truly humbling

  83. C.... F....

    This was recorded in a studio not in a pub with an audience.

  84. I.... ....

    I am relaxing in the lobby of my college and I have to fight back the tears so I don't bawl my eyes out in front of everyone. Eva and her voice were a blessing.

  85. G.... P....

    Ah yes. Before the rule of no recording at Blues Alley. Nice!

  86. S.... R....

    She'll be singing in heaven. My parents will be listening.xxx

  87. p.... r....

    And the tears pour down.
    Happens every time I listen to her.
    Thanks Eva.. from a supposedly tough guy.

  88. C.... B....

    Played at my grandads cremation

  89. l.... ....

    Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
    In the land that I've heard of once, 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
    Oh, way above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me
    Someday I'll wish upon a star
    And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
    Where troubles melt like lemon drops
    Oh, way above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me
    Somewhere over the rainbow
    Skies are blue
    And the dreams that you dare to dream
    Really do come true
    If happy little bluebirds fly above the rainbow, oh
    Oh, why can't I?

  90. T.... 1....

    I thought id never say this but, it surpasses Judy's version. I just found her. And to find out she died. That makes 2 singers of this song who died tragically. I have to hear more from this beautiful angel on you tube. May you rest over the 🌈

  91. W.... S....

    W ally Schuett. Now picture Eva and Israel singing a duet in heaven. Pure bliss.

  92. R.... T....

    Wow voice of an angel. amazing❤

  93. T.... ....

    The whole world needs to stop and listen to this beautiful soul sing, for maybe all could find peace within

  94. V.... J....

    She left us too soon

  95. R.... T....

    My God. What a gift. So beautiful. So absolutely in tune with herself. Wow

  96. R.... T....

    WOW WOW WOW

  97. M.... ....

    This beautiful performance never fails to make me cry. Eva and Karen Carpenter, the two best ever, taken from us far too young. God Bless you for blessing us with your talent.

  98. j.... l....

    She makes me cry. 😢But I love The way she sung.
