If it starts on a B flat I would assume it's in F.
All my arrangements, including the one in a "Judy Garland" songbook are in C.
However, if you're saying that the first note...as in the "Some" of "Somewhere" is a B-flat, then it's in B-flat. Now, if B-flat is the first note of the intro.."When all the clouds...."....then I'm not sure.
But, the key F would be quite high for this song, at least for the arrangements I've seen.
