Blue Skies Again - Jessica Lea Mayfield

Dear winter bird

How long can you last

Before it gets too cold

And the earth asks you back?

Dear bended bough

You’re ready for the sun

The old man is leaving

A longer day’s begun

Suddenly I can see blue skies again

Beauty says nothing less than our hearts will mend

I promise you they do

Birch trees are bones

Stripped of their leaves

And pressed between the pages

Of my memories

This heart of mine

Is ready for the spring

Open up my window

Winter bird, take wing

Suddenly I can see blue skies again

Beauty says nothing less than our hearts will mend

I promise you they do

It’s not easy to pretend (ooh, la, la, la, la)

It’s not easy to pretend (ooh, la, la, la, la)

It’s not easy to pretend (ooh, la, la, la, la)

I can see blue skies again (ooh, la, la, la, la)

Suddenly I can see blue skies again

Beauty says nothing less than our hearts will mend

I promise you they do
