Cloudburst by Barry Manilow Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 1973

I was blue and I was always wearing a frown
Because my gal had turned me down
Then we met and you can bet
I knew from the first, you were my love
And that's when the old gray cloudburst
My heart really flew, the day you caught my eye
I hope that we two will never say "Good-bye."
Clouds of gray have silver linings
When they reverse. I found your love
And that's when the old gray cloudburst

Hey, baby.....
I'm gonna tell you 'bout your lovin'
And your kissn' and your huggin'
And your sweet turtle-dovin' pretty baby
I won't be satisfied til I hear 'em play
"Here comes the bride."

Listen to me baby and I don't mean maybe
Listen to my story, it's terrifficly true
I gotta find a way of telling
You that I really go for you
I hope you really believe me baby
'cause I certainly do
'Cause you're thrillin' me, you're really
Really thrilling when you tell me
That you probably got a kind of crush on me
That moves me, grooves me
How divine can one woman be?

Well little darlin', you got me fallin'
You got me goofy and gay
I'm gonna get carried away
Just think, you're gonna be mine someday

Oh, let's spin a little
Park a little, stop a little
Spark a little, live a little, love a little
Maybe turtle-dove a little baby
Every time you hold me so near
Nobody loves me like you, dear

Let's stop a little, squeeze a little
Probably maybe tease a little
Try a little, sigh a little
Maybe have to cry a little bit
'cause to tell you the truth
I'm gonna love you and that's it

'Cause I love you baby
Love you baby, love you baby, love you baby
With all my heart
Oooh, listen to me while I say I let
A lotta little ladies get away
Because I know, I know pretty baby, I know
I know, pretty baby
I know you're the one, yes you're the one
I knew when I met you
What a break it was to get you
When it's cloudy and gray and that's the worst
How do you cause the cloud to burst?
You got to find a lover
Find a lover, find a lover, find a lover

If it's silvery under clouds of gray
How do you chase the clouds away?
You gotta find a little girl
And make her love you a lot
Don't ever leave unless you flip your
Lid and really want to ruin the plot

Sounds easy does it?
Light as a breeze thru the trees
Boy, how pleasant was it?
Pleasant as one summer day, boy

It's so wonderful, what a love can do
Look at what love has done for you
Hey, I'm a lucky lover, lucky lover
I got the love you should discover

I was blue and I was always wearing a frown
Because my gal had turned me down
Then we met and you can bet
I knew from the first, You were my love
And that's when the old gray cloudburst
Take a look at me. Boy take another look
Take another look, take another look
Take another good, long, look at me
Love opened my eyes and now I see

Clouds of gray have silver linings
When they reverse. I found your love
And that's when the old, gray, cloudburst
That's when the old, gray, cloud burst!
