Blue Skies
Jo Stafford Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ev'ry day was a cloudy day for me
Then good luck came a-knocking at my door
Skies were gray but they're not gray anymore
Blue skies
Smiling at me
Nothing but blue skies
Bluebirds
Singing a song
Nothing but bluebirds
All day long
Never saw the sun shining so bright
Never saw things going so right
Noticing the days hurrying by
When you're in love, my how they fly
Blue days
All of them gone
Nothing but blue skies
From now on
I should care if the wind blows east or west
I should fret if the worst looks like the best
I should mind if they say it can't be true
I should smile, that's exactly what I do
The lyrics of the song 'Blue Skies' by Jo Stafford tell the story of someone who used to be deeply unhappy and pessimistic. They describe themselves as feeling blue and unable to see any joy in life, with even the sky looking cloudy every day. However, luck comes knocking at their door, and suddenly everything changes. The skies are no longer gray, but blue, and bluebirds are singing all day long. The sun is shining brighter than it ever has before, and everything is going right for this person. Time seems to fly by when you're in love, and all the blue days are gone. From now on, there is nothing but blue skies for them.
The song is a metaphor for how love can change a person's perspective on life. It celebrates the transformative power of love, which can help people see the world in a new and positive light. The lyrics suggest that when you're in love, even the bad things in life seem more manageable, and you're able to smile in the face of adversity. This is a popular theme in many songs and is something that has resonated with listeners for decades.
