Dark Clouds

Do you feel the summer breeze,
blowing softly through the trees,
tranquility, peace, quiet and calm,
safe and sound in someone's arms?

Is your future set in stone,
happy together, never alone,
days of roses, days of wine,
and a summer sun that shines so bright?

Or does a dark cloud descend and blot out the sun, from the sky?
Well the thunder roars, a black rain pours, and all brightness falls into endless night...

Back again to crystal skies,
laughter shines in children's eyes,
no shadows fall to spoil the view,
there are no shades of darkest blue?

Can it be a perfect dream,
drifting along, leaves in a stream,
boats in the harbour, sails unfurl'd,
in front of you a world full of love?

Or does a dark cloud descend and blot out the sun, from the sky?
Well I try so hard, and I give so much, but I just can't seem to do enough?

Well every cloud, has a silver lining,
if you want sunshine, you must have rain.
Yes every cloud, has a silver lining,
spring and summer, come round again.
So they say...
So they say...
Spring and summer, come round again,
so they say...
