Willie Nelson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nothin' but blue skies do I see
Bluebirds singin' a song
Nothin' but blue skies from now on
I never saw the sun shinin' so bright
Never saw things goin' so right
Noticing the days hurrying by
When you're in love, my how they fly by
Blue days, all of them gone
Nothin' but blue skies from now on
Blue skies smilin' at me
Nothin' but blue skies do I see
Blue days all of them gone
Nothin' but blue skies from now on
Blue skies smilin' at me
Nothin' but blue skies do I see
Blue days all of them gone
Nothin' but blue skies from now on
Blue skies smilin' at me
Nothing but blue skies, do I see
Blue days all of them gone
Nothin' but blue skies from now on

My dad has been passed away for 10 years now....I found out he was gone 2 years ago when my mom passed away. It hit me like a ton of bricks. Playing this song makes it as if he's right in the room with me. He loved Willie. I remember going fishing with him and this song would come on in his truck. It reminds me of happier times when, for me anyway, sky's were truly blue. Rest in peace dad and mom I love both of you. 🌹🌹

You're not alone in how you feel. I'm alone and it's terrible. I cry it's my therapy. But this music helps.

My father had this on tape in his car when I was younger, he is still with us thank God but Parkinsons has taken his energy and strength in a cruel way. Peace and best wishes to you all from Ireland. Enjoy the Blue Skies people x
