About The Song
Soak up the warm Texas sun and let the smooth baritone of George Strait guide you through the gentle yet unexpected twists of “Blue Clear Sky.” This 1996 country classic, penned by Bob DiPiero, John Jarrard, and Mark D. Sanders, is more than just a catchy melody. It’s a narrative that takes you on a journey through life’s unpredictable path, where love blooms from the unlikeliest places and destiny intervenes with a playful grin.
Originally envisioned as a gospel song, “Blue Clear Sky” found its perfect home in Strait’s signature country style. The song opens with a peaceful scene – a man gazing at the vast expanse of a blue sky, lost in reflection. Suddenly, life takes a sharp turn. A chance encounter with a stranger in a crowded diner sparks an unexpected connection, leaving him captivated and questioning his preordained plans.
What follows is a dance between fate and free will. As the chorus swells with the sentiment “It’s the last thing you had planned, out of the blue clear sky,” we witness the man grapple with the unfamiliar territory of newfound desire. Should he follow the well-worn path or leap into the unknown with this alluring soul who appeared, quite literally, out of the azure expanse?
“Blue Clear Sky” doesn’t provide easy answers. Instead, it celebrates the beauty of life’s detours, the thrill of unplanned moments, and the transformative power of human connection. The song’s gentle rhythm and Strait’s heartfelt vocals carry us through a range of emotions, from initial surprise to quiet contemplation and, ultimately, a sense of hopeful anticipation.
So, whether you’re seeking a relatable story of personal growth, a soundtrack for your own unexpected romance, or simply a dose of classic country charm, “Blue Clear Sky” awaits. Press play, let the sky’s endless blue wash over you, and prepare to be swept away by a melody that whispers, “Sometimes, the most beautiful chapters begin with a twist of fate.”

Lyrics
You swear you’ve had enoughYou’re ready to give upOn that little lie they call loveThen out of the blue clear skyFallin’ right into your handsLike rain on the desert sandIt’s the last thing you had plannedThen out of the blue clear skyHere she comes, a walkin’ talkin’ true loveSayin’, I been lookin’ for you loveSurprise, your new love has arrivedOut of the blue clear skyAin’t love a funny thingOne day you’re givin’ up the dreamAnd the next you’re pickin’ out a ringOut of the blue clear skyHere she comes, a walkin’ talkin’ true loveSayin’, I been lookin’ for you loveSurprise, your new love has arrivedOut of the blue clear skyHere she comes, a walkin’ talkin’ true loveSayin’, I been lookin’ for you loveSurprise, your new love has arrivedOut of the blue clearHere she comes, a walkin’ talkin’ true loveSayin’, I been lookin’ for you loveSurprise, your new love has arrivedOut of the blue clear skyOut of the blue clear sky
