Lyrics Umbrella Man - Billy Eckstine

Umbrella Man

I need my umbrella
To hide the sun
To keep out the starlight
When day is done
Because I used to walk in the sunshine
Used to wish on the star with you
But now I’m just a frightened lost umbrella man
Don’t wanna see rainbows
That I can’t touch
Or laugh with the flowers
That meant so much
Because we used to ride on the rainbow, baby
Used to live in the flower world
The world’s the same
But now my name’s umbrella man
And though I’m supposed to care
When people stop and stare
I just go on my way
Hopin' it rains each day
I need my umbrella
So I won’t see
The beauty around me
That used to be
When I could walk with you in the sunshine, baby
Face the world as I held your hand
But it’s tucked away in yesterday
Umbrella man
When I could walk with you in the sunshine, baby
Face the world as I held your hand
But it’s tucked away in yesterday
Umbrella man
Umbrella man
Umbrella man
