There’s a heart shaped cloud in the air
It’s hanging about just over there
It makes me think of you
And that I love you
So I’m glad that I looked up today
It does look like rain
So I’m popping up my umbrella
That way I’m ready for when it comes down
I sure don’t want to be a wet fella
That wet man smell does get around
The rain is falling in a steady drumbeat
Forming a veil
Around my dry island in the gloom
I stay out of puddles and hope there’s no hail
That would poke holes in my bubble
My balloon floats lightly next to me
It’s words spell out how I feel
It’s shiny and red
And says, “I love you” for real
It buoys my heart to give you a balloon
In my pocket bulges a velvet case
It holds two month’s salary
It’s shiny and bright
And I hope it’s just right
For it’s you I want to marry this day
Then a bump and a bright light
And I’m floating in the night
Looking down at a painful sight
My broken body in the rain
You’ll have to wait for another to love you I fear
But I’ll try always to be near
And when you grow old and die
I’ll be waiting right here
Because death doesn’t change how I feel
