LOOK FOR ME IN THE CLOUDS
Family and Friends
Time for me to go now, I won't say goodbye; Look for me in the clouds way up in the sky. In the morning sunrise when the world is new, just look for me and love, as you know I love you.
Time for me to leave you; I won't say goodbye, look for me in the clouds high in the sky.
In the evening sunset when the world is through just look for me and love me and I'll be close you. It won't be forever the day will come and then my loving arms will hold you when we meet again.
Time for us to part now, every waken moment and all your whole life through,
just look for me and love me as you know I love you. Just wish me to be near you and I'll be there with you.
Love Rushie Lee Burns.
Robert Burns Darry Poarch Renard Alexander
leroy Burns Harry Stone Mark Williams
