Lyrics
BLUE SKIES
I caught a blackbird wink at me,
The buds are blooming in the trees,
And the clouds are waving good-bye,
I THINK WE'RE IN FOR BLUE, BLUE, BLUE SKIES...
The hills are carpetted in green,
and colors poppin' in between,
People smile to be outside,
I THINK WE'RE IN FOR BLUE, BLUE, BLUE SKIES.
(Instrumental)
I THINK WE'RE IN FOR BLUE,
I THINK WE'RE IN FOR BLUE,
I THINK WE'RE IN FOR BLUE, BLUE SKIES...
Leave your jacket home today,
Let's take a picnoc and get away,
I see spring in your eyes,
I THINK WE'RE IN FOR BLUE, BLUE, BLUE SKIES...
(Instrumental)
I THINK WE'RE IN FOR BLUE,
I THINK WE'RE IN FOR BLUE,
I THINK WE'RE IN FOR BLUE, BLUE SKIES,
I THINK WE'RE IN FOR BLUE,
I THINK WE'RE IN FOR BLUE,
I THINK WE'RE IN FOR BLUE, BLUE SKIES...
Leave your jacket home today,
Let's take a picnic and get away,
I see spring in your eyes,
I THINK WE'RE IN FOR BLUE, BLUE SKIES...
I THINK WE'RE IN FOR BLUE,
I THINK WE'RE IN FOR BLUE,
I THINK WE'RE IN FOR BLUE, BLUE SKIES,
I THINK WE'RE IN FOR BLUE,
I THINK WE'RE IN FOR BLUE,
I THINK WE'RE IN FOR BLUE, BLUE SKIES...
(Instrumental)
I THINK WE'RE IN FOR BLUE,
I THINK WE'RE IN FOR BLUE,
I THINK WE'RE IN FOR BLUE, BLUE SKIES,
I THINK WE'RE IN FOR BLUE,
I THINK WE'RE IN FOR BLUE,
I THINK WE'RE IN FOR BLUE, BLUE, BLUE SKIES...
BLUE...
BLUE...
BLUE SKIES...
BLUE...
BLUE...
BLUE SKIES...
I THINK WE'RE IN FOR BLUE SKIES,
I THINK WE'RE IN FOR BLUE SKIES,
