Lyrics

  1. When your eye is holding back a tear
    And troubles start within your heart
    Things are not as bad as they appear
    Just bear in mind you’ll always find

Chorus
Behind the clouds are crowds and crowds
Of sunbeams shining for you
And in a little while
The clouds will break and Heaven will smile
When days are grey look up and say
“The skies will surely be blue”
We all have troubles more or less
Still there’s worlds and worlds of Happiness
Behind the clouds for you

  1. When your so-called friends have turned you down
    And things look sad, don’t feel so bad
    It may all be for the best I’ve found
    Don’t ever grieve, learn to believe
