Chorus
Blue skies smiling at me
Nothing but blue skies do I see
Bluebirds singing a song
Nothing but bluebirds all day long
Never saw the sun shining so bright
Never saw things going so right
Noticing the days hurrying by
When you’re in love my! how they fly
Blue days all of them gone
Nothing but blue skies from now on
Performance
