Blue Skies- Day 180

Something I am noticing about the lyrics to the songs from White Christmas is that the lyrics are really short! I am surprised each time I look up the lyrics to see how short it is! The songs are so long, yet I had never really paid attention to the fact that they just repeat a lot. Hmmm, maybe they are onto something with not needing to have elaborate lyrics to make a song beautiful.

Blue Skies 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

[Refrain:]
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

[2nd verse:]
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
