Blue Skies Lyrics

There are things
I could have told you
there's a time and a place
where my words
would allow me
to say what i won't change
and don't let me know
as it's happenin'
oooooh don't let me know
what you said
ooooh ooh
there were birds
all around me
there were (?) pressed to me face
and in time
you will forget me
and i'll try and do the same
don't let me know
as it's happenin'
ooooh don't let me know
what you said
oooooh oh ooooh oooh
it's been years
since i saw you
but each day i see your face
and in time
you will remind me
that i wish we were the same
and don't let me know
as it's happenin'
ooooh donn't let me know
what you said
oooh oh oooooh oooh

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Yeah he still loves her. She's "the one who got away" for him.

Yeah he still loves her. She's "the one who got away" for him. The lyrics kinda remind me of Led Zeppelin's Tangerine song

"Don't let me know as it's happening, don't let me know what you said"

please don't do or say anything that will make me loose whatever strength I have left as I turn to leave.
