Eva Marie Cassidy (February 2, 1963 â€“ November 2, 1996) was an American vocalist described by the British newspaper The Guardian as "one of the greatest voices of her generation". Although possessing a soulful voice, an extraordinary range, and a diverse repertoire of jazz, blues, folk, gospel and pop, she still remained virtually unknown outside of her native Washington, DC, when she died of melanoma in 1996. However, her posthumously released recordings have since sold in excess of four million copies, and in early 2001 the compilation album Songbird reached #1 on the UK album charts.

Somewhere Over The Rainbow Lyrics

Eva Cassidy

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 wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like melon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you find me
Someday I 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 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, why
Oh, why can't I?
