Little Cloud

How sweet to be a cloud

Floating in the blue

Lyin' awake, late the other night

Heard above me a trembling

I looked up, it was a little cloud

From which a gold string was dangling

You know, I gave the string a little pull

A-just to see what was on the other end

Just then, a voice come down to me, says

"Hey, now, don't you wanna be my friend?"

And float with me to distant lands, wondrous and fair

Float with me to distant lands, wondrous and fair

You see, I'm just a happy little cloud

I laugh and float and a-sing my song

But the other clouds don't like me none

They say I am behavin' very wrong

You see, a cloud's supposed to be sad

To cry and weep and tear it's hair and all

It don't matter how hard I try

I can't get the first little tear to fall

Oh, float with me to distant lands, wondrous and fair

Float with me to distant lands, wondrous and fair

Said, "Hey, I like you, little cloud

You are a nice little fellow, yes"

"You makin' some kind of joke?" Said the cloud

"Now can't you see I'm wearin' such a pretty dress?

You see I am the prettiest little chick cloud

That you'd find anywhere up above

I just dropped in on you a while

To see if you could give me some kind of love"

And float with me to distant lands, wondrous and fair

Float with me to distant lands, wondrous and fair

Just then, the chief cloud come into view and says

"Hey, girl, now what you thing you're doin' there?

I told you so many times before

You just don't seem at all to care

You know you should be floatin' up above now

Don't let me catch you down here again"

And as my cloud rolled out of view

There come falling down a gentle shower of rain

Happy rain come falling down

Red, green, blue and golden

And every drop, as it fell, it smiled

And throwin' back its head, began singin'

Come float with me to distant lands, wondrous and fair'

Float with me to distant lands, wondrous and fair
