(Music by Django Reinhardt, Lyric by Jon Hendricks)
|
See the white and fluffy clouds
|
Adore the sun
|
As he shines his light
|
On each and every one
|
Still, those clouds can hide his light
|
Till the day becomes like night
|
So my light heart would darken too
|
If I ever lost you
|
|
As the clouds begin to shed
|
Their tears of rain
|
So my aching heart would
|
Shed its tears of pain
|
Till that happy moment when
|
Darkened clouds roll by and then
|
White and fluffy clouds
|
Adore the sun once again
|
|
[Cheryl's Solo:]
|
When I was young
|
I'd long to touch a cloud
|
On my back on a bed of green
|
I'd contemplate the cloud scene
|
They would form themselves
|
Into a lot o' different kinds o' pictures
|
Of the kind that pre-existed in my mind
|
Paintin' the kind o' scene
|
That I never saw on a wide screen
|
Look! Ain't that Moses on the mount!
|
There! Monte Christo an' a gallant count!
|
Four white horses and a coach
|
Proceeding madly to approach
|
The sunlit castle of his majesty the king
|
|
Isn't that a flying saucer
|
And a pilgrim out of Chaucer going by?
|
They're all right there in a cloud
|
Standing tall and proud
|
How thrilling to see!
|
A panorama that will never end
|
Like the movies do
|
"Cause they're yours alone
|
An' under your direction
|
How'd y'like the movie
|
That was showin' t'day?
|
An' what a cast!
|
An' not only the casting
|
But a story full of glory everlasting
|
The errant, fluffy clouds
|
Doing everything they have always done
|
Like adore the sun
|
Come out an' do their thing again
|
|
[Stephane Grappelli/Stochelo Rosenberg Solo:]
|
See the white, fluffy clouds adore the sun
|
As he shines his light on each and every one
|
White and fluffy clouds adore the sun
|
Once again.
