Lyrics
VERSE 1
What better way to say good bye
Than floating in a perfect sky
Among the clouds so pure and white
The atmosphere a clear delight
CHORUS
Summer blue
What a beautiful hue I'm flyin' through
Summer day
What a beautiful time to get away
Summer blue
Summer day
Summer blue
Fly away
VERSE 2
The air up here breathes fresh and cool
The sea below seems a shallow pool
And through it all I think of you
Of everything you put me through
CHORUS
Summer blue
What a beautiful hue I'm flyin' through
Summer day
What a beautiful time to get away
Summer blue
Summer day
Summer blue
Fly away
BRIDGE
I'm dreaming of your vacant eyes
Your vague surprise, your disbelief
I see your mouth make pretty lies
You didn't think I'd really leave
CHORUS
Summer blue
What a beautiful hue I'm flyin' through
Summer day
What a beautiful time to get away
Summer blue
Summer day
Summer blue
Fly away
