Blues
Buck Clayton J.C. Heard John Collins Kenny Kersey Lester Young Rodney Richardson & Trummy Young Lyrics

I was blue, just as blue as I could be
I was feeling down or sad, as sad as I could feel

Ev'ry day was a cloudy day for me
Every day was like a cloudy, gloomy day for me

Then good luck came a-knocking at my door
Suddenly, good fortune arrived and presented itself to me

Skies were gray but they're not gray anymore
The skies felt dark, but now they are not, they feel bright and new

Blue skies
The skies are blue

Smiling at me
And they seem to be happy and cheerful

Nothing but blue skies
All I see are blue skies

Do I see
That's all I see, just blue skies

Bluebirds
There are bluebirds

Singing a song
And they are singing a song

Nothing but bluebirds
All I see are bluebirds

All day long
They sing their song throughout the day

Never saw the sun shining so bright
I have never seen the sun shine so intensely

Never saw things going so right
Everything seems to be going perfectly well

Noticing the days hurrying by
I notice that the days are passing by very quickly

When you're in love, my how they fly
Time seems to fly by rapidly when you are in love

Blue days
The sad and gloomy days I used to experience

All of them gone
They all disappeared and are no longer here

Nothing but blue skies
Now, all I see are blue skies

From now on
Starting from this point on

I should care if the wind blows east or west
I really should be concerned if the wind blows from either the east or west

I should fret if the worst looks like the best
I must worry if the worst scenario seems like the best possible outcome

I should mind if they say it can't be true
I need to care if they claim that it can't be true

I should smile, that's exactly what I do
But instead, I choose to smile, and that's exactly what I do
