Penso che un sogno così non ritorni mai più Mi dipingevo le mani e la faccia di blu Poi d'improvviso venivo dal vento rapito E incominciavo a volare nel cielo infinito Volare oh, oh Cantare oh, oh Nel blu dipinto di blu Felice di stare lassù E volavo, volavo felice più in alto del sole Ed ancora più su Mentre il mondo pian piano spariva lontano laggiù Una musica dolce suonava soltanto per me Volare oh, oh Cantare oh, oh Nel blu dipinto di blu Felice di stare lassù Ma tutti i sogni nell'alba svaniscon perché Quando tramonta la luna li porta con sé Ma io continuo a sognare negli occhi tuoi belli Che sono blu come un cielo trapunto di stelle Volare oh, oh Cantare oh, oh Nel blu degli occhi tuoi blu Felice di stare quaggiù E continuo a volare felice più in alto del sole Ed ancora più su Mentre il mondo pian piano scompare negli occhi tuoi blu La tua voce è una musica dolce che suona per me Volare oh, oh Cantare oh, oh Nel blu degli occhi tuoi blu Felice di stare quaggiù Nel blu degli occhi tuoi blu Felice di stare quaggiù Con te
