Full Lyrics
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."
About This Song
"Castle on a Cloud" is a tender song from the musical Les Misérables, composed by Claude-Michel Schönberg with lyrics by Alain Boublil. It is sung by young Cosette, who dreams of a safe, loving place while living a harsh life with the Thénardiers.
The song beautifully captures a child's imagination and longing for comfort. Its dreamlike quality and simple melody make it a touching lullaby that resonates with children and parents alike.
The imagery of a castle in the clouds, filled with toys and kindness, speaks to every child's desire for safety, love, and a world where no one is unkind.
