The lonely girl….

Standing all alone watching the clouds go rolling by

I watch as they unfold to pictures in the sky

Sadly every one seems to turn to the same thing

A picture of a lonely girl without a song to sing.

They almost look familiar -

is she someone that I know?

What ever happened to this girl

That makes her sorrow so?

What ever happened to her smile

I know she used to wear it every day

Cause I saw her walk among the clouds

And she didn't seem this way.

Maybe she was foolish

Got caught up in a dream

Only to discover

Love isn't what it seems.

Maybe she was hopeful

And held on a bit too long

Still never understanding

That sometimes love goes wrong.

Maybe she was faithful

thought she had something to believe

then had her heart broken

when she had to watch him leave.

Maybe now she's lost

Because she knows he's not around

Is that a raindrop on my face

Or her tears pouring down?

How come no one told her

You shouldn't love with all your heart

So then it doesn't hurt as much

When it all falls apart.

I watch the clouds go rolling by

And suddenly I see

The lonely girl up in the clouds,

Is a girl who looks like me.
