Blue Skies Smiling At Me
Petunia Reaching Blue Sky, Renee Jardin |
Blue Skies - Frank Sinatra
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h03eH51rsuMwritten by Irving Berlin
I was blue, just as blue as I could be
Ev'ry day was a cloudy day for me
Then good luck came a-knocking at my door
Skies were gray but they're not gray anymore
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
I should care if the wind blows east or west
I should fret if the worst looks like the best
I should mind if they say it can't be true
I should smile, that's exactly what I do

Vienna Woods, lessing-photo,com |
This
