Clouds
Angelo Debarre & Ludovic Beier Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Clouds are feathers from a lady's fan
Do you remember how we watched them drifting by
Long ago when love began
Clouds floating thru the night
While the silver stars above
Lend their tender light
While I wonder why my love ever said goodbye
The night was young
The breeze was warm and tender
A fool was I but how was I to know
I gladly gave my heart in sweet surrender
To learn that love was meant to come and go
Like snowhite clouds floating through the night
Speaking of a love that was heavenly
A love that could never be mine
Once we were together and now we're apart
Did you find it easy to forget?
I keep on dreaming while the years go drifting by
Calling you my "Sweet Regret"
Clouds floating thru the night
While the silver stars above
Lend their tender light
Clouds drifting thru the sky
While I wonder why my love ever said goodbye
The night was young
The breeze was warm and tender
A fool was I but how was I to know
I gladly gave my heart in sweet surrender
To learn that love was meant to come and go
Like snowhite Clouds Floating thru the night
Speaking of a love that was heavenly
A love that could never be mine
The lyrics of "Clouds" by Angelo Debarre talk about a love that started brilliantly but eventually ended with heartbreak, leaving the singer to ponder over the fleeting nature of love. The first verse uses a beautiful metaphor of clouds being just dewdrops that once kissed a rose, and feathers from a lady's fan, indicating the ephemeral nature of love. The singer reminisces about the time when they watched the clouds drift by, and the stars above lent their tender light, making it a romantic moment. However, after his love said goodbye, he realizes that he was a fool to give his heart in sweet surrender and that love was meant to come and go. The singer calls his love as his "sweet regret" and keeps dreaming of her even as years go by.
The second verse is more reflective and brings out the pain of separation. The singer wonders whether it was easy for his love to forget him while he keeps dreaming of what could have been. The refrain is repeated, emphasizing the fleeting nature of love and its heavenly quality that can never be possessed permanently.
"Clouds" is a poignant song that depicts the emotions of a heartbroken lover who knows that love is not forever but still cannot help dreaming of what could have been. It talks about the bittersweet quality of reminiscing the good times while acknowledging the reality that love is not meant to last forever.

Clouds are only dewdrops that once kissed a rose
Clouds are delicate remnants of beauty from a time long past
Clouds are feathers from a lady's fan
Clouds are light, but fleeting remnants of a greater beauty
Do you remember how we watched them drifting by

Long ago when love began
This was a time when love was optimistic and held great promise
Clouds floating thru the night
The clouds represent the fleeting nature of time
While the silver stars above Lend their tender light
Even in darkness, hope and illumination can be found
Clouds drifting thru the sky While I wonder why my love ever said goodbye
The fleeting nature of love is pervasive and remains a mystery
The night was young The breeze was warm and tender
Once, everything was perfect and warm
A fool was I but how was I to know I gladly gave my heart in sweet surrender
I was naive and hopeful, surrendering to love without realizing its true nature
To learn that love was meant to come and go
Love isn't a permanent state but rather ebbs and flows like the clouds
Like snowhite clouds floating through the night Speaking of a love that was heavenly A love that could never be mine
The love I sought was always destined to remain distant and unattainable
Once we were together and now we're apart Did you find it easy to forget?
Time passes and people move on, but memories and emotions linger
I keep on dreaming while the years go drifting by Calling you my "Sweet Regret"
I cling to the past and regret what could have been while time marches on
