I've got a princess who wears a second-hand dress,
She tells me, "Baby, I know you've done your best,"
Though I've found comfort in the love we vowed,
I can't help thinking that I've let her down,
Well, I'd do anything to make her proud,
Deserves a castle; I've only built her a cloud.

Each day I work hard, but time - it is no friend,
One day you look up and find you're near the end,
There are some words too dark to say aloud,
Like how you're thinking that there's no way out,
Though she's got faith in me, I have my doubts,
Deservers a castle; I've only built her a cloud.

She says, "This cloud is pretty close to Heaven, we should count our lucky stars,"
I've heard each cloud has a silver lining, but I just see the rain in ours.

Love to surprise her, and give her diamonds and pearls,
If I could do it, she knows I'd give her the world,
Though I've found comfort in the love we vowed,
I can't help thinking that I've let her down,
Well, I'd do anything to make her proud,
Deserves a castle; I've only built her a cloud.

Deserves a castle; I've only built her a cloud.
