For Ella

You were running through the backyard Said the puddles were the ocean Now the smell of rainy days, always reminds me of you Took a ride into the west side To see the city with your own eyes But the flicker of the light was too bright, you got back into the car Ella, Ella, you're a shooting star Open water by your bedside Broke a promise that I stand by Go to sleep and dip your feet in You'll see, the ocean isn't far Ella, Ella, you're a shooting star A floating ballerina through the yard Ella, we'll remember who you are Love for you is always in my heart Ella, Ella, you're a shooting star A floating ballerina through the yard Ella, we'll remember who you are Love for you is always in my heart Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
