Sheet music

  1. 1Somewhere the sun is shining,Somewhere the songbirds dwell;Hush, then, thy sad repining,God lives, and all is well.Somewhere, Somewhere,(Somewhere, beautiful, beautiful Isle,)Beautiful Isle of Somewhere!Land of the true, where we live anew,Beautiful Isle of Somewhere!
  2. 2Somewhere the day is longer,Somewhere the task is done;Somewhere the heart is stronger,Somewhere the guerdon won.Somewhere, Somewhere,(Somewhere, beautiful, beautiful Isle,)Beautiful Isle of Somewhere!Land of the true, where we live anew,Beautiful Isle of Somewhere!
  3. 3Somewhere the load is lifted,Close by an open gate;Somewhere the clouds are rifted,Somewhere the angels wait.Somewhere, Somewhere,(Somewhere, beautiful, beautiful Isle,)Beautiful Isle of Somewhere!Land of the true, where we live anew,Beautiful Isle of Somewhere!
