lyrics

Good morning dear
Have a cup of tea
The clouds are growing near
Soon He will not see
Us at play
Oh, what a wonderful day

Make your love to me
Underneath these clouds
They are hiding us
From the eyes of God
Thanks god he can’t see
What would my friends think of me

When the clouds all pass
We’ll standing there
Singing praising songs and vows
And showing the world how
That we’re happy now
As we were yesterday
Our souls are fat and loud and gay
Until the light of day

But we are patient
We are humble
We are waiting, anticipating
Hoping, praying
For the overcast of clouds
