Blue Skies
Swing And Sway Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was blue, just as blue as I could be
Every 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
Do I see

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 chorus is a repetition of the relief that the singer feels. They are no longer surrounded by darkness, and "nothing but blue skies" are all they see. The bridge emphasizes the singer's newfound positive outlook on life, regardless of the external circumstances. They acknowledge that they should be fretting or minding what others say, but instead of taking on this stress, they choose to smile.


Overall, the song is a testament to the power of a positive mindset and how it can change one's perception of the world around them. The swing and sway elements of the song add to its joyful and upbeat nature, making it a catchy tune to dance and sing along to.
