Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bye bye blues
Bye bye blues
Bells ring, birds sing
Sun is shining, no more pining
Just we to
Smiling through
Don't sigh, don't cry
Bye bye blues

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 to
Smiling through




Don't sigh, don't cry
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye blues
