My Heart Flew Away Like a Cloud

My heart flew away like a cloud
As my friends left me,
One after another,
Like foam washed into the sink.

Smiles melted turned to frowns,
Sorrow filled everyone’s face,
As if the world’s gonna end.

I crept out of bed,
Dawn was breaking,
But Mr. Sunshine never rose.

I peeped out of the window,
Trying really hard to find the candy man.
The melodious tone of his bell was not heard
And I wonder why- has he also gone to the place where mama went?

My heart flew away like a cloud,
It flew to New York, Egypt, Africa and many places around the world,
But it never came back to me.
