Blue Skies
Tao Rodriguez-Seeger Lyrics

The song “Blue Skies,” written by Irving Berlin, has been covered by many artists, including Tao Rodriguez-Seeger. The song is often associated with hope, happiness, and fleeting moments of pure love. The opening lines, “Blue skies smilin' at me, nothin' but blue skies do I see” are a proclamation of contentment and joy. The singer is experiencing a moment of pure bliss, feels invigorated by the bright light of the sun and the blue skies around them. They are enjoying the beauty of the world, where even the birds singing contribute to the moment of happiness they are experiencing.

In the next verse, the singer acknowledges how time seems to move quickly when we are in love. The days seem to hurry by, giving the impression that life is fleeting. But this realization does not diminish their joy; instead, it reinforces the importance of this moment. The repeated refrain “Nothin' but blue skies from now on” drives home the message, that whatever obstacles or troubles may come, the singer is determined to focus on the beauty of life and the love they are currently experiencing. The final lines express the hope that this feeling will continue, that all the future holds for them is happy moments with blue skies and bluebirds.
