'Cause I'm Cadd9sure to find plenty 'nuff blues
To wEm7rite my sad song
But when I Cadd9open the door and the sun spills through
Takes aEm7way my breath and I think of you
And the Cadd9only blues to hit my eyes
Are those Dbeautiful blues in the clear blue sky!

EveryEm7body is dancin' and slappin' high fives
And such bCadd9eautiful music fills the skies
And Em7we all sing along
And now I Cadd9snap out of my daydream
And I Em7can't believe how real it seems
But I Cadd9keep on dancin' anyway
'Cause it's Dturning out to be a marvelous day!
