[Intro]
Light up the sky, shy violet angel eyes
Light up the sky, shy violet angel eyes

[Verse]
She dried my eyes and drifted off
While every tear was held aloft
The heavy rain clouds felt terrible
'Cause she made my stormy sky beautiful
('Cause she made my stormy sky beautiful)

[Chorus]
Light up the sky, shy violet angel eyes
Light up the sky, shy violet angel eyes
(Beautiful)
Light up the sky, shy violet angel eyes
(Beautiful)
Light up the sky, shy violet angel eyes
(Beautiful)

[Outro]
'Cause she made my stormy sky beautiful

Originally making songs in his basement for his friends as Sky Sailing, Adam Young then discovered synth music and became Owl City, releasing two relatively unpopular albums Maybe I’m Dreaming and Of June before making his hit single “Fireflies” which made his third album as Owl City, Ocean Eyes a hit.

After this worldwide success he put on two more albums, All Things Bright and Beautiful in 2011, and The Midsummer Station in 2012. In 2014 he released an EP, Ultraviolet, composed of 4 songs whom one would appear on his following album, Mobile Orchestra. Retiring from Owl City in 2016 to focus on Adam Young Scores, a new project made of orchestral soundtracks about historic events, he reappeared in 2017 to tease his upcoming new album Cinematic, with the release of a series of three EPs, called Reel 1 , 2 and 3.
