Songs on my head... Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's Medley


I had been browsing youtube today. Hey its a holiday!!!! On top of having my car fixed (which of course is not yet done, since Toyota dealership ordered a needed part), briefly working and submitting my review report to my former boss, I am keeping myself occupied by browsing the net and checking out songs. I went through my old posts in this blog... gee whiz, I got posts, way way back when.

I already posted Kansas' Dust in the Wind years ago... A few days back, I shared this song to a friend. Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's Medley of the Over the Rainbow and What a wonderful world. God, I wish I could play a ukelele like some people I know. I think it is an uplifting song. Very calming too. However, I don't think its feasible to embed the video here in FFF. Oh well, reposting the lyrics

"Somewhere Over The Rainbow / What A Wonderful World"

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 tops
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
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? I?

To those who are interested to listen... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9b3_1CcXtY

Love this song. Funny thing we are the same age. But , tragically died too young!

Greatest feelings in the world when two souls profess a love for each other...
