Bus
stop, wet day, she's there, I say
"Please, share my
umbrella"
Bus stop, bus goes, she stays, love grows
Under
my umbrella
All
that summer, we enjoyed it
Wind and rain and shine
And that
umbrella, we employed it
By August, she was mine
Every
mornin', I would see her waiting at the stop
Sometimes she'd
shopped and she would show me what she bought
All the people
stared as if we were both quite insane
Someday my name and hers
are going to be the same
That's
the way the whole thing started
Silly but it's true
Thinkin' of
a sweet romance
Beginning in a queue
Came
the sun, the ice was melting
No more sheltering now
Nice to
think that that umbrella
Led me to a vow
Every
mornin', I would see her waiting at the stop
Sometimes she'd
shopped and she would show me what she bought
All the people
stared as if we were both quite insane
Someday my name and hers
are going to be the same
On
bus stop, wet day, she's there, I say
"Please, share my
umbrella"
Bus stop, bus goes, she stays, love grows
Under
my umbrella
All
that summer, we enjoyed it
Wind and rain and shine
That
umbrella, we employed it
By August, she was mine
