"My Blue Heaven" is a cover song from the The Smashing Pumpkins' box set, The Aeroplane Flies High, originally released on the "Thirty-Three" single. It was written in the 1920s by Walter Donaldson with lyrics by George A. Whiting.
| “ | I've wanted to cover this song for five years, but found it impossible to learn, as I can't seem to learn anyone else's song. Written in 1927, this song is a well-known standard. I thought about doing this more futuristically, but in the end opted to let it be beautiful in its simplicity. | ” |
| — Billy Corgan, Guitar World, January 1997 | ||
Lyrics[edit | edit source]
day is ending
birds are wending
back to their shelter of
each little nest they love
nightshade's falling
lovebirds calling
what makes the world go round
nothing but love
when whippoorwills call
and evening is night
i hurry to my blue heaven
i turn to the right
a little white light
will lead you to my blue heaven
you'll see a smiling face
a fireplace, a cozy room
a little nest
that's nestled where the roses bloom
just molly and me
and baby makes three
we're happy in my blue heaven
you'll see a smiling face
a fireplace, a cozy room
a little nest
that's nestled where the roses bloom
just molly and me
and baby makes three
we're happy in my blue heaven
we're happy in my blue heaven
