Clouds
Great Guitars 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

Line by Line Meaning
Clouds are only dewdrops that once kissed a rose
Clouds are remnants of love that have passed us by
Clouds are feathers from a lady's fan
Clouds are the remnants of a woman's essence that has dissipated into the air
Do you remember how we watched them drifting by
Do you remember how we watched love navigate its way out of our lives?
Long ago when love began
In the early stages of love, when emotions were high and the world was full of possibilities
Clouds floating thru the night
The remnants of love floating aimlessly when the darkness settles in
While the silver stars above
As the stars shine in the darkness, reminders of love's true beauty
Lend their tender light
The light of the stars shines down on the lovers, illuminating a hope that once was
Clouds drifting thru the sky
The remnants of love drifting through the sky like smoke from a dying fire
While I wonder why my love ever said goodbye
As the remnants of love float away, the lover tries to understand why their relationship came to an end
The night was young
In the early stages of love when the future was still unknown
The breeze was warm and tender
The gentle breeze of love blowing through their hearts
A fool was I but how was I to know
The naive nature of love can sometimes make us feel like fools
I gladly gave my heart in sweet surrender
Love makes us willing to give everything we have, even if it means being hurt later on
To learn that love was meant to come and go
Realizing that love is fleeting and it comes and goes in waves
Like snowhite clouds floating through the night
Just like the white clouds that float through the sky at night, love can be beautiful but fleeting
Speaking of a love that was heavenly
Love at its peak, when it feels like it's a gift from the heavens
A love that could never be mine
A love that was lost, either due to circumstances or misunderstandings
Once we were together and now we're apart
A description of how relationships can evolve over time
Did you find it easy to forget?
Wondering if the other person has forgotten the love that they once shared
I keep on dreaming while the years go drifting by
Holding onto the dream of the love that once was, even as time passes by
Calling you my "Sweet Regret"
Acknowledging the bittersweet nature of past love
