Lyrics
Blue Umbrella
by Tom and Mary Erangey, copyright 2011
Hey...hey you, jump onto my cloud
Me and you, our own Shangri La
Verse 1: I looked out my window
Saw the rain coming down
Your head on my pillow
I'm happy as a clown
You woke with a smile
And said let's go for a stroll...in the rain
You, jumped onto my cloud
Me, and you, our own Shangri La
Chorus: Under a blue umbrella
We shared a blue umbrella
Under a blue umbrella
And now we're walking and talking and hugging and kissing and running and laughing aloud
Joking and flirting and teasing and squeezing and touching the clouds
Verse 2: The rain was so gentle
And the sun shone through
The world blossomed green
It shimmered with dew
You held me so close
And my happiness grew
Hey, hey you, jump onto my cloud
Me, and you, our own Shangri La
Chorus: Under a blue umbrella
We shared a blue umbrella
Under a blue umbrella
And now we're walking and talking and hugging and kissing and running and laughing aloud
Joking and flirting and teasing and squeezing and touching the clouds
Bridge [instrumental]
Chorus
Chorus and out
