Clouds 1935

Clouds are only dew drops
that once kissed a rose
Clouds are feathers
from a lady's fan.
Do you remember how
we watched them drifting by
long ago when love began.

Clouds floating through the night
while the silver stars above
lend their tender light.
Clouds drifting thro' the sky
while I wonder why my love
ever said goodbye.
The night was young
the breeze was warm and tender
a fool was I
but how was I to know
I gladly gave my heart
in sweet surrender
to learn that love was meant
to come and go like snow white
Clouds floating thro' the night
speaking of a love
that was heavenly,
a love that could never be mine.

Clouds floating through the night
while the silver stars above
lend their tender light.
Clouds drifting thro' the sky
while I wonder why my love
ever said goodbye.
The night was young
the breeze was warm and tender
a fool was I
but how was I to know
I gladly gave my heart
in sweet surrender
to learn that love was meant
to come and go like snow white
Clouds floating thro' the night
speaking of a love
that was heavenly,
a love that could never be mine.

Once we were together
and now we're apart
did you find it easy to forget?
I keep on dreaming
while the years go drifting by
calling you my "Sweet Regret."

Clouds floating through the night
while the silver stars above
lend their tender light.
Clouds drifting thro' the sky
while I wonder why my love
ever said goodbye.
The night was young
the breeze was warm and tender
a fool was I
but how was I to know
I gladly gave my heart
in sweet surrender
to learn that love was meant
to come and go like snow white
Clouds floating thro' the night
speaking of a love
that was heavenly,
a love that could never be mine.

Clouds floating through the night
while the silver stars above
lend their tender light.
Clouds drifting thro' the sky
while I wonder why my love
ever said goodbye.
The night was young
the breeze was warm and tender
a fool was I
but how was I to know
I gladly gave my heart
in sweet surrender
to learn that love was meant
to come and go like snow white
Clouds floating thro' the night
speaking of a love
that was heavenly,
a love that could never be mine.
