Cloudy Skies

Cloudy Skies Well, My father told me 'Boy you must be strong. Youll make mistakes but you'll always get along Don't waste your time on things that you can't change Don't live your life with one foot in the grave' He'd say that 'money, it cant buy the things you need. Don't let your ambition turn itself into greed And if he said it once he'd say a thousand times Go find a woman with a story in her eyes' I can't believe its happening to me. Cloudy skies as far as my lonely eyes can see. And he'd say 'Son you've got to understand, When Your life gets tough you'll learn To be a man' Solo Well I never really even knew the man But I think, I think he'd understand His respect is something I will always earn. He's always there to guide me When I don't know where to turn. I can't believe its happening to me. Cloudy skies as far as my lonely eyes can see. And he'd say 'Son well, you've got to understand, When your life gets tough you'll learn To be a man' 'So have faith, and then you'll realize, That a new day lies behind the cloudy skies'
