Bye Bye Blues

Tal Farlow · Other Songs - Tal Farlow

I got a big surprise when I saw you smile

I never dreamed that it could be

But now I realize since I saw you smile

There's only happiness for me

So

Bye bye blues

Bye bye blues



Bells ring

Birds sing

Sun is shining

No more pining

Just we two

Smiling thru

Don't sigh

Don't cry

Bye bye blues

Blues
