lyrics

My little umbrella, you keep me dry on those days when the sky cries.
There are no clouds to lean on or fall through.
My little umbrella, you keep me safe and warm.
I'll admit it's something that I've never had before.

With hair crossing your eyes, a pair of black glasses, and a bigger smile.

My little umbrella, you cover me with shade on the first day of June.
I can hardly breathe but I feel lighter.
I could listen to you breathe for hours and hours.
And I do.
It means more to me than it does to you.

The red shirt that I like and a locket around your neck
The same pair of jeans from last week.

You're why the world spins.
You're why I dream when I'm awake.
You're where spring begins.
You're forever and it'll stay that way.

You saved me from the nights where I thought I'd be without you.
You're always there silent beneath my sheets.
We stay awake until morning comes cheek against cheek.
When the light peeks in through our transparent curtains,
I can see your eyes the widest they've ever been.

The red shirt that I like and a locket around your neck.
You're the girl I won't forget.
