Somewhere Over The Rainbow | Dedicated To My Late Grandmother - CardsForSorrow - Sep 22, 2001

            Some Where Over The Rainbow
--- Eva Cassidy

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 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,
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?

Eva died of cancer in 1996 at the age of 33. She had a love for music and art her whole life. My grandmother requested that Eva Cassidy's version of this song be played at her funeral, because It was her favourite song. I think it is a very poingent song, and am posting it here as a dedication, and a goodbye to my Grandmother. Goodbye, and God Bless
