I got a big surprise, when I saw you smile
I never dreamed that it could be
But now I realize since I saw you smile
Theree's only happiness for me. So...

Bye Bye Blues
Bye Bye Blues
Bells ring, birds sing
Sun is shining, no more pining
Just we two smiling through
Don't sigh, don't cry
Bye Bye Blues

The two of us together, just me and you
will keep smil-in' smil-in' through
So don't you sigh, and don't you cry
Bye Bye Blues

BYE BYE BLUES 
(Peggy Lee)


as rec by Peggy Lee w Dave Barbour & his Orch 
Dec 26th 1947 Los Angeles


Bye bye blues,
Bye bye blues,
Birds sing,
Bells ring,
Sun is shining,
No more pining.

Just we two,
Smiling through,
Don't cry,
Don't sigh,
Bye bye blues.

I was feelin' very low,
Had the blues, they had to go!
So I weighed my lily white,
I won't sing the blues tonight.

Now I'm feelin' mighty fine,
All lit up like a neon sign,
Found a man and then, you know,
I told the blues they had to blow!

Bye bye blues,
Bye bye blues,
Birds sing,
Bells ring,
Sun is shining,
No more pining.

Just we two,
Smiling through,
Don't cry,
Don't sigh;
Cried the blues all over town,
Cried myself upside down!
Wanted life to be so fine,
Found a man and now he's mine!
Bye bye blues.
