Blue Sky Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Walk along the river, sweet lullaby
They just keep on flowin', they don't worry 'bout where it's goin', no, no
[Verse 2]
Don't fly, mister blue bird, I'm just walkin' down the road
Early morning sunshine, tell me all I need to know, oh
[Chorus]
You're my blue sky, you're my sunny day
Lord, you know it makes me high
When you turn your love my way
Turn your love my way, yeah
[Guitar Solos: Duane Allman & Dickey Betts]
[Verse 3]
Good old Sunday mornin', bells are ringin' everywhere
Goin' to Carolina, it won't be long and I'll be there
[Chorus]
You're my blue sky, you're my sunny day
Lord, you know it makes me high
When you turn your love my way
You turn your love my way, yeah, yeah

I think that made it broader...
