Lyrics

Clouds above the Rain
Copyright Carlene Thissen 2006

It was a stormy day on a slow runway,
I’d been sad since Dad passed away,
Then we took off into the dreary clouds
On top of the rain in the bright sunshine,
I heard some music quite sublime,
A familiar voice, playing and singing out loud.

CHORUS:
My father was there, on a big bright cloud
Smiling that smile
Strumming his banjo, and singin’ his old songs
On the clouds above the rain.

VERSE 2
When the jet sped on he waved goodbye,
but I knew that I could always find
Him on cloudy days when I was on a plane.
He’ll be waiting for me when it’s my time
But for now I’ll stay in the earth’s sunshine
Stop my tears and start singin’ in the rain

CHORUS:

MUSICAL BRIDGE WITH BANJO

VERSE 3:
When it's my time to go I pray
That heaven will take me and on that day
I'll wish this old earth, a fond good-bye
I'll ask St. Peter could I be allowed
To join Dad on that particular cloud
Spend forever making music in the sky

CHORUS
