Lyrics
BLUE SKIES
Warner
V1.
I’ve known gentle love and I’ve cried alone
I have stood in the rain to wash away the sorrow
I’ve held my dreams close to my heart
And you my friend have been there with me
through it all
That’s then I remember we were younger then
Dancing, singing, laughing
Part of the wind
It’s gonna be blue skies
V2.
I held you close while we cried
And thought of all of the friends who have fallen aside
None of them ever as close as you and I
And I thought of how I’ve wasted so much precious time
That’s when I remember we were younger then
Dancing, singing, laughing
Part of the wind…
CHORUS
It’s gonna be blue skies, from here on out
Now that we finally see what life is all about
Dreams grown to full size
Friendship that still holds a shine
Love uncompromised
Blue skies
BRIDGE
And when our time is gone forever
And the wind is where you are
Dancing on the stars
I’ll keep you close to me, within my heart
I’ll remember, I’ll remember
I’ll remember, I’ll remember your eyes
Blue skies from here on out
SOLO
That’s when I remember
We were younger then
Dancing, singing, laughing
Part of the wind
Repeat chorus
…I’ll remember your eyes
Blue skies…
