Whether Skies Are Gray Or Blue

It was while transferring the photos I took yesterday from my camera to my computer .....

.....the morning sunrise.....

.....the evening sunset, which is usually my favorite because of the pinks and purples.....

.....until this one. I like it the best, which was strange because I don't usually go for the blues. Then I decided the tones were more gray than blue. I like gray.
And that is when, in my head I heard: ♪Whether skies are gray or blue♪ Followed a second later by My Happiness. Was that the name of the song? I had to Google it to find out, yes, it was. And it was one of the hits for a singer I had not thought about in years - Connie Francis. Oh, my gosh, how could I forget about her?

Who's Sorry Now? was her first big hit in 1957 followed by Heartaches, Stupid Cupid and My Happiness in 1958. In 1959, there was If I Didn't Care, Lipstick On Your Collar and Among My Souvenirs. Her Billboard #1 hits were Everybody's Somebody's Fool and My Heart Has A Mind Of Its Own, both in 1960, and Don't Break The Heart That Loves You in '62. Her songs were a part of the background of my high school years.

My Happiness 
(Music and Lyrics by Borney Bergantine and Betty Peterson Blasco)

Evening shadows make me blue
When each weary day is through
How I long to be with you, my happiness

Every day I reminsce
Dreaming of your tender kiss
Always thinking how I miss my happiness

A million years it seems
Have gone by since we shared our dreams
But I'll hold you again
There'll be no blue memories then

Whether skies are gray or blue
Any place on earth will do 
Just as long as I'm with you, my happiness


This morning the skies are blue; by evening they may again be gray, but, no matter.....
.....whether skies are gray or blue.....
