When I want a sunny day,
I ask you to come and play.
When I want umbrella weather,
I ask you to run away.
When I miss the sunny rays
Of a day that’s lacking grey,
When I don’t want umbrella weather,
I ask of you to come and play,
You help my tears of rain turn to showers of joy;
You make my muddy boots into chocolate ones.
My rain jacket reflects the color of sun
And we jump in puddles until they’re emptied of water.
I look to you to dry the rain.
I look to you to ease the pain.
You look to me to wet the sun.
You look to me to moisten ground.
I look to you to brighten dark--
I look to you for fun in the park.
You look to me to erase shadow.
You look to me to block the light.
When I want a sunny day,
I ask you to come and play.
When I want umbrella weather,
I ask you to run away.
When I miss the sunny rays
Of a day that’s lacking grey,
When I don’t want umbrella weather,
I ask of you to come and play,
When I yearn to achieve sun--
The apex of a mountain trek--
You realize you are the one
Whom I call to procure it?
Do you know you tickle me?
Do you know you put away my umbrella?
Did you know you comfort me?
Did you do all that on purpose?
Do you know you give me all I need?
Do you know I’ve not felt betta?
Did you know you set me free?
Since you’ve been gone, it’s been umbrella weather.
When I want a sunny day,
I ask of you to come and play.
When I want umbrella weather,
I ask you to run away.
When I miss the sunny rays
Of a day that’s lacking grey,
When I don’t want umbrella weather,
I ask of you to come and play
