Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nothin' but blues skies do I see
Bluebirds singin' a song
Nothin' but bluebirds all day long
Never saw the sun shining so bright
Never saw things looking so right
When you're in love, my how they fly
Blue days, all of them gone
Nothin' but blue skies from now on
Never saw the sun shining so bright
Never saw things looking so right
Noticing the days hurryin' by
When you're in love, oh how they fly
Blue days, all of them gone
Nothin' but blue skies from now on
The song Blue Skies by Tommy Dorsey is a beautiful and uplifting tune that celebrates the joys of being in love. The lyrics describe the feeling of looking out at the world and seeing nothing but blue skies, both literally and metaphorically. The blue skies represent a beautiful and bright future that is filled with hope and promise. The bluebirds singing all day long represent the happiness and contentment that comes with being in love. When someone is in love, they feel like nothing can bring them down, and the world seems like a much brighter and happier place.
The lyrics also touch on the notion that time flies when you're in love. The days appear to hurry by, and the world seems to be moving faster than ever before. When you are in love, there's never enough time to spend with the person you love or to simply enjoy the world around you. The last verse of the song suggests that once you've found true love, there are no more blue days. The blue skies will continue to shine brightly, and nothing but happiness and joy will be left in its wake.
