|
I went walkin' down by the river
|
Feeling very sad inside
|
When all at once I saw in the sky
|
The little white cloud that cried
|
|
He told me he was very lonesome
|
And no one cared if he lived or died
|
And said sometimes the thunder and lightning
|
Make all little clouds hide
|
|
He said "Have faith in all kinds of weather"
|
"For the sun will always shine"
|
"Do your best and always remember"
|
"The dark clouds pass with time"
|
|
He asked if I'd tell all my world
|
Just how hard those little clouds try
|
That's how I know I'll always remember
|
The little white cloud that sat right down and cried
|
(The little white cloud that cried)
