There is a castle on a cloud.


I like to go there in my sleep.


Aren’t any floors for me to sweep,


not in my castle on a cloud.



There is a room that’s full of toys.


There are a hundred boys and girls.


Nobody shouts or talks too loud,


not in my castle on a cloud.



There is a lady all in white,


holds me and sings a lullaby.


She’s nice to see and she’s soft to touch,


She says “Cosette, I love you very much.”


I know a place where no one’s lost.


I know a place where no one cries.


Crying at all is not allowed,


not in my castle on a cloud.
