Umbrella on a Rainy Day
up beat, jazzy, electro swing, male voiceLyrics
When the clouds roll in and skies turn gray,
And life’s a storm that won’t blow away,
I can be the friend you never knew,
An umbrella, dear, just for you!
Oh, I’m the umbrella on a rainy day,
Shelter from troubles that come your way,
Sign on the line, let your fears slip free,
Just a small price for a life of ease.
You’ve been walkin’ barefoot down life’s mean streets,
Dodgin’ puddles, oh, the endless defeats,
But step on in, let’s make a trade,
All the warmth and comfort in the shade.
Yes, I’m the umbrella on a rainy day,
Turn your sorrows to sweet cabaret,
With me around, you’ll be free to play,
But sign, my friend, and here you’ll stay.
Promises, oh, they’re silky smooth,
Honeyed words that hold the groove,
I’ll give you joy, a laugh, a song,
But read the fine print, it won’t take long.
You’ll dance in sunshine, you’ll waltz in cheer,
With a voice like mine, there’s nothing to fear,
Oh, trust me now, let the shadows sway,
I’m the light when your world turns gray.
Yes, I’m the umbrella on a rainy day,
Turning sorrows into cabaret,
Sign on the line, we’ll seal the tune,
You’re safe in my shade — ’neath a blood-red moon.
So what do you say? Just a little toll,
A penny for peace, a piece of your soul.
Rain may fall and winds may play,
But with me, you’re safe… in my own special way.
