Lyrics
Who am I, what’s my name
Where I’m from, how I came
Doesn’t matter, dear
‘Long as I am here
Chorus
I’m just a fella, a fella with an umbrella
Looking for a girl
Who saved her love for a rainy day
I’m just a fella, a fella with an umbrella
Glad to see the skies of blue
Have turned into skies of gray
Raindrops have brought us together
And that’s what I long to see
Maybe the break in the weather
Will prove to be a break for me
So I’ll be the fella
The fella with an umbrella
If you’ll be the girl
Who saved her love for a rainy day
Chorus
I met a fella, a fella with an umbrella
Looking for a girl
Who saved her love for a rainy day
I met a fella, a fella with an umbrella
Waiting for the skies of blue
To turn into skies of gray
Raindrops will bring us together
And that’s what I long to see
Maybe a break in the weather
Will prove to be a break for me
I told the fella, the fella with the umbrella
I could be the girl
Who saved her love for a rainy day
