Julie London Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 two
Smiling thru
Don't sigh
Don't cry





Bye bye blues
Blues
