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
Someday…

The beautifully draped white dress with the pink opera gloves is SO Glenn Close Cruella DeVil and i love it! 🎩 #TCMParty #EasterParade #JudyGarland
“Better Luck Next Time” is such a lovely number. I wish Judy had incorporated it into her concert years. #TCMParty #JudyGarland
