How sweet to be a cloud, floating in the blue.nnLying awake, late the other nightnHeard above me a trembling,nI looked up, it was a little cloud,nFrom which a gold string was dangling;nYou know, I gave the string a little pull,nJust to see what was on the other end.nJust then a voice came down to me, says,nHey, now, don't you want to be my friend,nnAnd float with me to distant lands,nwondrous and fair;nFloat with me to distant lands wondrous and fair?nYou see I'm just a happy little cloud,nI laugh and float and sing my song,nBut the other clouds don't like me none.nThey say I am behaving very wrong.nYou see a cloud's supposed to be sad,nTo cry and weep and tear its hair and all,nAnd don't matter how hard I try,nI can't get the first little tear to fall.nnAnd float with me to distant lands, wondrous and fair;nFloat with me to distant lands, wondrous and fair;nnI said, Hey, I like you little cloud,nYou are a nice little fellow, yes.nYou making some, kind of a joke?, said the cloud,nNow can't you see I'm wearing such a pretty dress?nYou see I am the prettiest little chick cloudnThat you'd find anywhere up above.nI just dropped in on you awhilenTo see if you could give me some kind of love.nnAnd float with me to distant lands, wondrous and fair;nFloat with me to distant lands wondrous and fair;nnJust then the chief cloud come into viewnAnd says, Hey, girl, now what you think you're doing there?nI told you so many times beforenYou just don't seem at all to care.nYou know you should be floating up above, nownDon't let me catch you down here again.nnAnd as my cloud pulled out of view,nThere come failing down a gentle shower of rain.nHappy rain come failing down,nRed, green, blue and golden.nAnd every drop, as it fell, it smilednAnd, throwing back its head, began singing,nnOh float with me to distant lands, wondrous and fair;nFloat with me to distant lands, wondrous and fair.n
