Lyr. Add: Bye Bye Blues
David Bennett, Chauncet Gray, Frederick Hamm and Bert Lown, 1930

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
There'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, bye bye bye bye blues.

Does anyone have the sheet music? Additions, if on sheet music, would be appreciated.

I find the song was first recorded on May 1, 1925.

Here are some other lyrics...




Bye Bye Blues ~ Lyrics by Bert Lown


We're say-in'


Bye Bye Blues, Bye Bye Blues

Bells ring, birds sing,

Sun is shin-in', no more pin-in'.


Just we two, Smil-in' through

Don't sigh, don't cry

Bye Bye Blues


(counterpoint): Bye Bye to all your Blues and sorrow,

(lead): Bye Bye Blues

(counterpoint): Bye Bye 'cause they'll be gone to-mor-row.

(lead): Bye Bye Blues


(counterpoint): Bells will ring and birds all sing

(lead): Bells ring, birds sing


(Both:) Stop your mop-in', Keep on hop-in'


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
