Al Goodman And His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nothin' but blues skies do I see
Bluebirds singin' a song
Nothin' but bluebirds all day long
Never saw the sun shining so bright
Never saw things looking so right
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 shining so bright
Never saw things looking so right
Noticing 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
The song "Blue Skies" by Al Goodman And His Orchestra talks about the beauty of life when one is in love. The lyrics show an appreciation of the simple things that make life beautiful, such as blue skies, bluebirds singing a song, and a bright sun shining. These natural occurrences are often taken for granted, but the lyrics of the song emphasize the beauty that can be found in them. The happy tone and fast pace of the song suggest that being in love brings about a sense of newness and rejuvenation, making everything seem beautiful.
The lyrics also suggest that love can make time fly by quickly, with days hurrying by, unnoticed. Perhaps this is to suggest that when one is in love, they are busy enjoying their partner's company and the beautiful world around them, that they are not concerned with the passage of time. The song ends with the idea that “nothing but blue skies” await from now on, indicating a sense of hopefulness and the continuity of happiness.
