Cloudburst Songtext
von Barry Manilow

I was blue and I was always wearing a frown
Because my gal had turned me down
Then we met and you can bet I knew from the first
You were my love and that′s when the old gray cloud burst
My heart really flew the day you caught my eye
I hope that we two will never say goodbye
Clouds of gray have silver linings when they reverse
I found your love and that's when the old gray cloud burst
Hey, baby, I′m gonna tell you 'bout your lovin'
And your kissin′ and your huggin′ and your sweet turtledovin'
Pretty baby, I won′t be satisfied 'til I hear ′em play
"Here Comes the Bride"
Do me a favor and don't be late
If you listen to my story, it′s terrifically true
I gotta find a way to tell you that I really go for you
I hope you really believe me, baby, 'cause I certainly do
'Cause you′re thrillin′ me, really, really thrillin'
When you tell me that you probably got a kinda crush on me
That moves me, grooves me, how do I give one more than B?
Well, little darlin′, you got me fallin'


You got me goofy and gay, I′m gonna get carried away
Just think, you're gonna be mine someday
Oh, well, let′s spin a little, pucker little, stop a little
Sparkle little, live a little, love a
Little, maybe turtledove a little, baby
Every time you hold me, it's funny
And my body loves you like you, dear
Well, let's stop a little, squeeze a
Little, probably maybe tease a little
Try a little, sigh a little, maybe have to cry a little bit
′Cause to tell you the truth, I′m gonna love you and that's it
′Cause I love you, baby, love you, baby
Love you, baby, love you, baby, love you, baby, with all my heart
Ooh, listen to what I say
I let a lot of little ladies get away because I know (Bop)
I know, pretty baby, I know (Bop)
I know, pretty baby, I know you're the one
Yes, you′re the one, I knew when I met you
What a break it was to get you
When it's cloudy and gray and life′s the worst
How do you cause the clouds to burst?
You gotta find a lover, find a lover
Find a lover, find a lover
If it's silvery over and the clouds are gray
How do you chase the clouds away?
You gotta find a little girl and make her love you a lot
Don't ever leave her, let her feel you
Then you really wanna ruin the plot
Sounds easy, does it?
Light as a breeze through the trees, boy
How pleasant was it?
Pleasant as one summer day, boy
It′s so wonderful what old love can do
Look at what love has done for you
I′m a lucky lover, lucky lover
I've got the love you should discover
I was blue and I was always wearing a frown
Because my gal had turned me down
Then we met and you can bet I knew from the first
You were my love and that′s when the old gray cloud burst
Take a look at me, boy
Take another look, take another look
Take another look, take another good long look at me
Love opened my eyes and now I see
Clouds of gray have silver linings when they reverse
I found your love and that's when the old gray cloud burst
That′s when the old gray cloud burst
I don't believe I′m really singing a song (Song)
