Lyrics
The clouds in the sky
Look like you and I don't know why (yes they do)
When I look again
They've all changed and rearranged
Into something new
It's like they don't know what to do
Seem a bit like you
They've gone and then they're back again (they just pretend)
I want you to stay
But then the wind blows you away
Not a shadow left
For me at the end of the day
(Chorus)
Well clouds come and go just like a painting in the sky
So I watch the clouds not sure I know the reason why
Every once in a while one will get me to smile
If I close my eyes it'll be gone in awhile
I guess while you're gone
It let's the sun come shining through (in on me)
So I can be warm
While I sit here and I watch for you
A soft gentle breeze
Could shift and change the scenery
A breath of fresh air
Could be exactly what I need (just what I need)
(Chorus)
Well clouds come and go just like a painting in the sky
So I watch the clouds not sure I know the reason why
Every once in a while one will get me to smile
If I close my eyes it'll be gone in awhile
I want you to stay
But then the wind blows you away
Not a shadow left
For me at the end of the day
(Chorus)
Well clouds come and go just like a painting in the sky
So I watch the clouds not sure I know the reason why
Every once in a while one will get me to smile
If I close my eyes it will be gone in awhile
Clouds in the sky
Clouds in the sky
Clouds in the sky
Clouds in the sky
Clouds in the sky
Clouds in the sky
