Cloud Nine, by Michelle Wong

Background Music

Extract of 'Cloud Nine'
An extract of the song sung with the lyrics.

Just the other day
I listened to your voice
On the phone, cracking jokes
And after a day like mine
You have no idea
Just how much difference
You, my dear, made.

All busy with our lives
Deadlines to meet, people to please
We have hardly any time
For anything, or anyone
But that one hour
Aside from our weekends
It’s what I treasure most.

Storms of blue
Run away on its own
On the weekends, away from me
The sea is peaceful
And the world, for once
Is quiet, with just me and you

I’m in cloud nine when I’m with you
You’re a whirl of blissful serenity
I let my guard down
Even for just a while
And you let yours down
Together we unbury our blacks
And start a life, into cloud nine

You seem to sense my fear
And know when to get close
I find it hard to believe
That I have someone like you
Balls of insecurity
Disappear, out of thin air
And I’m happy and free
How could that be?

I’m in cloud nine when I’m with you
You’re a whirl of blissful serenity
I let my guard down
Even for just a while
And you let yours down
Together we unbury our blacks
And start a life, into cloud nine

When I start to feel cold
You make me feel gold
And sail me home
No longer alone
I hope to grow old
To be in cloud nine
With you, forever, forevermore.
