All Blues
Picassoman A.K.A Bayaka Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Verse 1:
Sometimes a happy frame of mind is hard to find without you here today
I’m turning all my dreams away.
Turning back the hands of time I just can’t find those feelings there inside
I’m turning all my dreams away.

Chorus 1:
There was a time when we use to play sun would shine every day
There was a time when we used to say life is blue skies all the way

Verse 2:
Dark clouds inside of me feel rained and drenched on every day
I’m turning all my dreams away
I seek for my forgotten place, where hope has gone and faith has gone astray
For all my dreams to come and stay

Chorus 2:
There was a time when we use to play sun would shine every day
There was a time when we used to say life is blue skies all the way
All the way

Bridge:
You’re not here to see me cry, watch me fall and my spirit die
You’re not here to hold me now, wipe my tears and kiss my brow

Chorus 3:
There was a time when we use to play sun would shine every day




There was a time when we used to say life is blue skies all the way
All the way
