Lyrics
- 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
- 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
