- Verse:
- I was blue just as blue
as I could be,
- Ev -'ry day was a cloud
-y day for me,
- Then good luck came a -knock
-ing at my door,
- Skies were gray but they're
not gray an -y more.
-
- Chorus:
- Blue Skies Smil -ing at
me,
- Noth -ing but Blue Skies
do I see,
- Blue -birds sing -ing a
song,
- Noth -ing but blue -birds
all day long.
- Nev -er saw the sun shin
-ing so bright, Nev -er saw things go -ing so right,
- No -tic -ing the days hur
-ry -ing by, When you're in love my! how they fly.
- Blue days all of them gone,
- Noth -ing but blue skies
from now on.
