Through the long days of summer Where the air was as sweet as perfume We walked through the golden meadows And danced by the light of the moon She was a lonely angel Sitting there by the side of the road On the edge of the forest That's where the wild things grow And blue skies upon us Open before us There before us Are the dreams of the world Blue skies upon us Rain down upon us Life is so sweet With a storm in the air, girl In her hand was a basket Sticks and branches were woven as one She smiled bright like a child Bright as the afternoon sun It was filled with her treasures A whole cradle of nature's bounty Wild flowers were chosen To lay amongst forest bellies And blue skies upon us Open before us There before us Are the dreams of the world Blue skies upon us Rain down upon us Life is so sweet With a storm in the air, girl It's a great day for a gatherer You can say that I told you so In these uncertain days It's the simple things you'll hear the most And blue skies upon us Open before us There before us Are the dreams of the world Blue skies upon us Rain down upon us Life is so sweet With a storm in the air, girl Blue skies upon us Open before us There before us Are the dreams of the world Blue skies upon us Rain down upon us Life is so sweet With a storm in the air, girl Blue skies upon us
