Watching The Clouds Roll By
Words and Music
By Bert Kalmar and Harry Ruby

First verse (sung by John)

Nearly ev'ry new day for me was a blue day,
My life was just one blue Monday.
How the days would drag on, if they had no tag on!
I couldn't tell which was Sunday.

I kept my eyes on the horizon
But only clouds were there.
Nothing could move them or improve them,
Nobody seemed to care.

Suddenly you stepped in and happiness crept in
And ev'rything changed in one day.
Now you and I can clear the sky...

Refrain

Looking for the sun,
Two loving hearts are better than one.
We'll have lots of fun
Watching the clouds roll by.

Cares don't mean a thing,
Whether it's winter, whether it's spring,
While two hearts can sing
Watching the clouds roll by.

We'll be as near as love birds,
As any two.
And, dear, if we're like love birds,
What are a few
April showers?

When it's dark or fair,
What does it matter? What do we care
If we both are there
Watching the clouds roll by?

Second verse (sung by Mary)

Life for me was boredom, each hour was more dumb
Than ev'ry one that preceded.
Time would slowly tick off, I wanted to kick off.
The hours could not be speeded.

I counted all days, spring and fall days
Just like so many sheep.
Even the night through I'd go right through
Counting them in my sleep.

Suddenly I woke up And all the clouds broke up,
For you were all that I needed.
My clouds I find are silver lined.

Repeat refrain
