Lyrics
Blue skies, smilin' at me Nothin' but blues skies do I see Bluebirds singin' a song Nothin' but bluebirds all day long

Never saw the sun shinin' so bright Never saw things lookin' so right Noticin' the days hurryin' by When you're in love, my, how they fly

Blue days, all of 'em gone Nothin' but blue skies from now on

Never saw the sun shinin' so bright Never saw things lookin' so right Noticin' the days hurryin' by When you're in love, oww, how they fly

Blue days, all of 'em gone Nothin' but blue skies from now on
