Οι στίχοι του τραγουδιού:

Blue skies are for free
Blue skies are for free
Blue skies are for free
Blue skies are for free

I’m that certain kind of guy
Who’s never gonna touch the sky
Do my duty ev’ry other day

But you got life and you got love
So you’re fortunate enough
Now come on, come one, when the clouds are gone
Let’s sing this song, you’re my number one

Blue skies are for free
And the sun will shine for you and me
If you do agree, come on, let me see
Shake your hands to the rhythm of the beat

Blue skies are for free
And the wind will blow for you and me
So the world can be without jealousy
Blue skies are for you (blue skies are for free), you, you, you (blue skies are for free)
(Blue skies are for free) you, you, you, you (blue skies are for free)

Sitting in a pool of doubt
You don’t know how to get out
Ev’ry word you said runs through my head

To make a happy dream come true
There’s a masterplan for you
Now come on, come on, when the clouds are gone
Let’s sing this song, you’re my number one

Blue skies are for free
And the sun will shine for you and me
If you do agree, come on, let me see
Shake your hands to the rhythm of the beat

Blue skies are for free
And the wind will blow for you and me
So the world can be without jealousy
Blue skies are for you (blue skies are for free), you, you, you (blue skies are for free)
(Blue skies are for free) you, you, you, you (blue skies are for free)

When they cheated and they let you down
Still we’ll be together
Just as long as there is fun around
We don’t make heavy weather (don’t make heavy weather)

Blue skies are for free
And the sun will shine for you and me
If you do agree, come on, let me see
Shake your hands to the rhythm of the beat

Blue skies are for free
And the wind will blow for you and me
So the world can be without jealousy
Blue skies are for you (blue skies are for free), you, you, you (blue skies are for free)
(Blue skies are for free) you, you, you
Blue skies for free
