Mr. Blue Sky

If I was to put together a list of fun songs that I would play if I was a little blue, this would be on the list. Mr. Blue Sky has that up beat tempo and the lyrics are all about how things are right with the world. It was certainly the highlight of ELO’ 1977 release, Out Of The Blue. Jeff Lynne always had a flair for writing songs with that feel good sound. That ability is reflected on the Discovery album and the soundtrack from Xanadu. Other songs that I would include on my make me happy CD are Jungle Love by Steve Miller, Does Your Mother Know by ABBA, Sun Arise by Alice Cooper and Crazy Little Thing Called Love by Queen. I am sure that I could fill up a CD with music.

I have recently recorded my CD’s on the computer and listen to them while I play computer games. It is like listening to my favorite radio station without the commercials. There is about 40 hours of music recorded and you can listen for weeks and never hear the same song or start off on the songs you want to hear. Ain’t technology grand.



So without further adieu, here are the lyrics from ELO and Mr. Blue Sky. Someday I figure out how to attach the music.



Sun is shinin' in the sky
There ain't a cloud in sight
It's stopped rainin' ev'rybody's in a play
And don't you know
It's a beautiful new day hey,hey

Runnin' down the avenue
See how the sun shines brightly in the city
On the streets where once was pity
Mister blue sky is living here today hey, hey

Mister blue sky please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long
Where did we go wrong?

Hey you with the pretty face
Welcome to the human race
A celebration, mister blue sky's up there waitin'
And today is the day we've waited for

Hey there mister blue
We're so pleased to be with you
Look around see what you do
Ev'rybody smiles at you

Mister blue sky, mister blue sky
Mister blue sky

Mister blue, you did it right
But soon comes mister night creepin' over
Now his hand is on your shoulder
Never mind I'll remember you this
I'll remember you this way

Mister blue sky please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long
Where did we go wrong?

Hey there mister blue
We're so pleased to be with you
Look around see what you do
Ev'rybody smiles at you
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
