about

The Java Boys were a band from Humboldt County, California. In 1990 or so they put out an album called, if I recall correctly, "World Famous". All three members wrote songs for the album; "Blue Blue Sky" was written by the Java Boys' bass player Justin Hobart Brown. Justin ended up helping my first band get their first shows and even played drums for a few shows. I'd always liked this song. When it came time to record our "Smile Slightly" album I thought I'd give it a go.

lyrics

Blue Blue Sky (by Justin Hobart Brown)

Don't forget about me when I'm gone.
'Cos I don't know what's in store for me in life.
I know I'll love you forever more.
So don't doubt the promise that we made tonight.

We'll meet in the blue blue sky
When our days are through.
We’ll meet in the blue blue sky,
Me and you.
Our hearts, they will surely fly
On the day we die.
We’ll meet in the blue blue sky,
You and I.

World's turning, things are bound to change.
And we may not be together all our lives.
Warm wind's blowing our wishes of love and death.
We’ll be together in the very end.

We'll meet in the blue blue sky
When our days are through.
We’ll meet in the blue blue sky,
Me and you.
Our hearts, they will surely fly
On the day we die.
We’ll meet in the blue blue sky,
You and I.

Don't forget about me when I'm gone.
'Cos I don't know what's in store for me in life.
I know I'll love you forever more.
So don't doubt the promise that we made tonight.

We'll meet in the blue blue sky
When our days are through.
We’ll meet in the blue blue sky,
Me and you.
Our hearts, they will surely fly
On the day we die.
We’ll meet in the blue blue sky,
You and I.
