If anyone knows all the lyrics to this song, please respond. If it
helps, it's the song that Patch Adams sings to the mean guy in the
hospital in the movie Patch Adams. Although, he doesn't sing all the
lyrics... or at least, I don't think he does.

I have an Ella lyrics page (URL in sig below) with that on it:

Track Title: Blue Skies

Album Title: Irving Berlin Songbook, disc 9
Prime Artist: Ella Fitzgerald
Arranger: Paul Weston
Producer: Norman Granz

Written by: Irving Berlin (b. Israel Balin)
Orchestra: Paul Weston
From: Betsy 1926 (S)


Lyrics:
I was blue, just as blue as I could be
Ev'ry day was a cloudy day for me
Then good luck came a-knocking at my door
Skies were gray but they're not gray anymore

Blue skies
Smiling at me
Nothing but blue skies
Do I see

Bluebirds
Singing a song
Nothing but bluebirds
All day long

Never saw the sun shining so bright
Never saw things going so right
Noticing the days hurrying by
When you're in love, my how they fly

Blue days
All of them gone
Nothing but blue skies
From now on


[2]
I should care if the wind blows east or west
I should fret if the worst looks like the best
I should mind if they say it can't be true
I should smile, that's exactly what I do

There weren't that many words in this Sinatra version. Of course I got
this from a CD of old radio broadcasts from when he was still with Tommy
Dorsey. In those days, the music was king, and the singers (boy or
girl) only got to sing a bit between instrumentals.
