Clouds Smile

A stairway to friends who now live in the clouds...
Peaceful and happy, not many with frowns...
Waiting for the day when the table is full again..
Raising glasses to life and a tribute to friends...
Stories and memories that bring tears and smiles...
Lifting spirits and hearts and left with no denials...
You live in our minds, you live in our days...
And I know deep inside, you hear every word that
I say...
So when I look to the sky and the clouds seem right..
I know there lies your smile that will always be bright...
