Out of a clear blue sky
I find all the world in tune
I know the reason why
Because you came along 
And made my life a song

Love is ev'rywhere, its music fills the air
All nature seems to hum a melody from the sky

Over on the hill I see a whippoorwill
I hear his song become a melody from the sky

And there's a bluebird singing to his ladylove above
A love song taken from the whisp'ring breeze in the trees

Love is ev'rywhere, its music fills the air
All nature seems to hum a melody from the sky

(Instrumental Break

Over on the hill I see a whippoorwill
I hear his song become a melody from the sky

And there's a bluebird singing to his ladylove above
A love song taken from the whisp'ring breeze in the trees

For love is ev'rywhere, its music fills the air
All nature seems to hum a melody from the sky
