Blue Skies
Bing Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Blue skies smilin' at me
Nothin' but blue skies do I see
Bluebirds singin' a song
Nothin' but bluebirds all day long

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

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)

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

Blue days, all of them gone




Nothin' but blue skies from now on
Nothin' but blue skies from now on

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Bing Crosby's famous song Blue Skies focus on the optimism and happiness that can come with being in love. The opening lines of the song set the tone, describing the blue skies that are "smiling" at the singer, and the blue birds that sing all day long. The imagery of a bright blue sky and birdsong is evocative of a carefree and joyful atmosphere, which reflects the singer's state of mind.


As the song continues, the singer reflects on how being in love has changed his perspective on life. He notes that he has never seen the sun shining so bright, and has never felt that things were going so right. The singer is so consumed by his love that he feels that time is flying by, as the "days hurry by."


The final part of the song is a testament to the power of love to lift us out of sadness and despair. The blue days of the past are gone, and the future is nothing but blue skies. By repeating the opening lines, the singer drives home the message that love brings happiness and hope, and that the future is bright with possibilities.
