Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I was blue and I always wearin' a frown
Because my man had turn me down
Then we met and you can bet I knew from the first
You were my love, 'cause thats when the old gray cloudburst
My heart really flew the day you caught my eyes
I hope that we two will never say goodbye
Clouds of gray have silver linings when they're reversed
I found your love and that's when the old gray cloudburst
[Verse 2]
Hey, baby, I'm gonna tell you 'bout your lovin'
And your kissin' and you huggin'
And you sweet turtle dovin' pretty, baby
I won't be satisfied till I hear 'em play "Here comes the bride"
Listen to me, baby, and I don't mean maybe
Listen to my story it's terrifically true
I wanna find a way to tell you that I really go for you
I hope you really believe me, baby, 'cause I certainly do
'Cause you thrillin' me, you're really, really thrillin'
When you tell me that you probably got a kind of crush on me
That moves me, grooves me, how devine can one woman be?
Oh, little darling, I'm really fallin'
You got me goofy and gay, I'm bound to get carried away
Just think, you're gonna be mine someday
[Verse 3]
Oh, let's spin a little, park a little, stop a little, park a little
Live a little, love a little, maybe turtle dove a little, baby
Everytime you hold me so near, nobody love me like you dear
Let's stop a little tease, a little later maybe squeeze a little
Try a little, sigh a little, maybe I can lie a little bit
No denyin' that you're mighty pretty, and that's it!
[Verse 4]
'Cause I love you, baby, love you, baby, love you, baby
Love you, baby, love you, baby, with all my heart
Ooh, listen to me when I tell you that a lot of little ladies
Got away because I know
I know, pretty baby, I know, I know, pretty baby
I know you're the one, yes, you're the one
I knew it when I met ya what a break to get ya
[Verse 5]
When it's cloudy and gray and that's the worst
How do you get that could to burst?
Ya gotta find a lover, find a lover
Find a lover, find a lover, find a lover
When it's silvery under clouds of gray
How ya gonna chase the gray away?
You gotta find a little girl and her love you a lot
Don't ever leave her
Unless you flip your lid and really wanna ruin the plot
(Sound easy, does it?)
Light as a breeze through trees, boy
(How pleasant was it?)
Pleasant as on summer breeze, boy
(It's wonderful what a love can do, look at what love has did for you)
Well I'm a lucky lover, a lucky lover
I've got the love you should discover
[Verse 6]
I was blue and I always wearin' a frown
Because my gal had turn me down
Then we met and you can bet I knew from the first
You were my love, 'cause thats when the old gray cloudburst
[Verse 7]
Take a look at me, boy, take a look at me
Take another look, take another look
Take another good long look at me
Love opened my eyes and know I see
[Verse 8]
Clouds of gray have silver linings when they're reversed
I found your love and that's when the old gray cloudburst
That's when the old gray cloudburst
