The water's in a vapor form which makes it much much lighter than if it were in liquid form, and there are air currents within clouds that keep the vapor circulating around and are able to hold the water up against gravity. It's when water vapor starts forming droplets that it gets too heavy for clouds and we get rain, hail, etc.

cloud do not "hold" water.
clouds "are" made up of water in the form of very tiny droplets.
that are so small that they are lighter then air.
hence they float.
when the dropets combine, they get too big to float ,
then they fall out of the sky as rain

clouds hold water VAPOR - not liquid water. Weh the water vapor condenses to liquid water, iteither is kept aloft by forces of wind or it falls as preciptiation.
