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 One day I‘ll wish up on a star Wake up where the clouds are far behind me Where troubles melt like lemon drops Way above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me Somewhere over the rainbow Blue birds fly Birds fly over the rainbow Why, oh why can't I? Where troubles melt like lemon drops Way above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me Somewhere over the rainbow Blue birds fly Birds fly over the rainbow Why, oh why can't I? |

A family slideshow was put together in November 2004. For Elin’s section I chose the song “Over the Rainbow” sung by Tori Amos. The words to the song were coincidentally also used in Andy Parsons' eulogy for Elin. You can see Tori in concert here.
“Over the Rainbow” was written
by Harold Arlen and E.Y. ‘Yip’ Harburg for the 1939 film,
“The Wizard of Oz”.
They won the Academy Award that year for Best Song.
