Blue Skies

Harry Connick Jr. · Triple Feature [2010]

Blue skies, smilin' at me

Nothin' but blues skies do I see

Bluebirds singing a song

Nothin' but bluebirds all day long

Never saw the sun shinin' so bright

Never saw things lookin' so right

Noticin' the days hurryin' by

When you're in love, my how they fly

Blue days, all of them gone

Nothin' but blue skies from now on

Never saw the sun shinin' so bright

Never saw things lookin' so right

Noticin' the days hurryin' by

When you're in love, oh how they fly

Blue days, all of them gone

Nothin' but blue skies from now on
