The sun is rising on a clear November morning And I feel inspired by the world that's thrown before me There's a new beginning in a quiet lakefront town There's a young girl smiling as she puts on her wedding gown And then she looks him in the eye, that's a look he's never seen On a face that he's loved since the age of seventeen And the small little chapel on the edge of town Awakens from a slumber to a joyous sound Of a blue sky shining Shining from above Of a blue sky shining Shining down on love There's a baby crying, she's been up all Saturday night And her father loves her, well he loves her with all his life And then she looks him in the eye, that's a look he's never seen On a face that no man will ever come between And the small little angel that he holds in his arms Falls into a slumber just before dawn
Of a blue sky shining Shining from above Of a blue sky shining Shining down on love There's a soldier dying for the country he loves And his mama's crying as she talks to her son There's a tear in her eye as she kisses her boy goodbye Because she knows he was proud to give his life When she looked him in the eye at the age of eighteen It's a face that no war will ever come between As she held her little boy in her arms She felt a shiver up and down her spine She knew her boy was telling her goodbye But someday further up the road, she knew that she would go To the blue sky shining Shining from above With her son reunited That's where she, where she, where she'd wanna go To the blue sky shining To the blue sky shining To the blue sky shining To the blue sky shining
