Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, feelings are strange especially when they come true
And I had a feeling you'd be leavin' soon
So I tried to rearrange all my emotions
But it seems the same, no matter what I do
[Verse 2]
Blue umbrella, rest upon my shoulder
Hide the pain while the rain makes up my mind
Well, my feet are wet from thinkin' this thing over
And it's been so long since I felt the warm sunshine
Just give me one good reason and I promise I won't ask you anymore
Just give me one extra season so I can figure out the extra four
[Verse 3]
Daytime makes me wonder why you left me
Nighttime makes me wonder what I said
Next time, are the words I'd like to plan on
But last time was the only thing you said
[Verse 4]
Blue umbrella, rest upon my shoulder
Hide the pain, while the rain makes up my mind
Well, my feet are wet from thinkin' this thing over
And it's been so long since I felt the warm sunshine
Just give me one good reason and I promise I won't ask you anymore
Just give me one extra season so I can figure out the extra four
