Blue skies smiling at me
Nothing but blue skies do I see
Blue days, all of them gone
Nothing but blue skies from now on
Blue skies smiling at me
Nothing but blue skies do I see
Blue days, all of them gone
Nothing but blue skies from now on
(Slow down)
Blue…..Skies smiling at me; Nothing but blue sky do I see.
Blue…..Days, all of them gone; Nothing but blue sky from now on.
