I went walkin' down by the river

Feeling very sad inside

When all at once I saw in the sky

The little white cloud that cried

He told me he was very lonesome

And no one cared if he lived or died

And said sometimes the thunder and lightning

Make all little clouds hide

He said have faith in all kinds of weather

For the sun will always shine

Do your best and always remember

The dark clouds pass with time

He asked if I'd tell all my world

Just how hard those little clouds try

That's how I know I'll always remember

The little white cloud that sat right down and cried
