Jason Howland, John Hickok, Sutton Foster - A Small Umbrella in the Rain lyrics

Jo, we are not at all alike
We have our differences may I be blunt?
Be blunt, by all means

I think perhaps it looks like rain
The sky gets bluer by the hour
The water falls in little drops
That’s why it’s called a sun shower
Ah, and now it stops

You were about to be blunt?

If I say rain, then you say sun
If I say yes, then you say no
It seems before we start, we’re done
We even argue at "hello"
If I say, share with me this small umbrella

I say who cares if I get wet?
We are as different as the
Morning and the night


No, we’re as different as the
Winter and the spring

We always seem to fight
We disagree on everything
And yet– you make me smile
You make me laugh you make me care

How can I explain
Inside my heart I feel a pain
When you’re not there

Though we’re not at all alike
You make me feel alive
If we had that in common
That one small thing in common
Love could be like a small
Umbrella in the rain

When people discover passion
They’ve come upon something rare
This fervor they have in common
Will shelter them anywhere

Though the rest may be rough
With such passion to share
I think we have more than enough
Enough to make a marriage if we dare

You are proposing?

No yes! Yes!
I do not mean today, or tomorrow
Or even next month
In a year maybe, two years even
I'm a patient man

I won’t be sweet, won’t be demure
This I prefer, this I adore

I’ll speak my mind, you can be sure
I’ll be enchanted to the core
If I say, "Let me share your small umbrella"
I’ll say, "Who cares if we get wet?"
We’ll be as different as a husband and a wife

No, we’ll be as different as
A woman and a man
We’ll fight our way through life
We’ll disagree the best we can and yet–

You make me smile you make me laugh
You make me care how can I explain
Inside my heart I feel a pain
When you’re not there

Though we’re not at all alike
You make me feel alive
Yes, we have that in common
That one small thing in common
Our love is like a small umbrella in the rain
