Lyrics

1. 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

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

2. 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
