i see off in the distance
an oak tree and a tire swing
a little pond for fishing
and i see you and i
under sky blue skies
i hear an old mare in the stable
daisies in the jelly jar
dominos on the table
the window shines the light
of a sky blue sky
i see it all in my mind oh
i see the green grass and the umber of the dusty road
were i to draw the sky that hung over you and me
there'd only be one crayon i would need
i hear you playingthe piano
i hear you sing in perfect key
as the back yard turns to shadows
as the sun bids goodnight
to a sky blue sky
i see it all in my mind oh
i see the amber hills and the pink of a budding rose
were i to paint the sky that hung above our head
i'd only need one color in my palette
i see off in the distance
silhouettes holding hands
surrendering to kismet
wonderful as life goes by
under sky blue skies
i feel time ever clocking
and the tide that will subside
when our ship comes in for docking
and wave the crew goodbye
under sky blue skies
from then on we'll reside
under sky blue skies
