Small Umbrella in the Rain Lyrics - Little Women Soundtrack

Professor Bhaer
(spoken)
Jo. We are not at all alike. We have our differences. May I be blunt?

Jo
(Spoken)
Be blunt. By all means.

Professor Bhaer
I think perhaps it looks like rain

Jo
The sky gets bluer by the hour

Professor Bhaer
The water falls in little drops

Jo
That’s why it’s called a sun shower

Professor Bhaer
Ah, not it stops

Jo
(spoken)
You were about to be blunt?

Professor Bhaer
If I say rain, then you 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

Jo
I say who cares if we get wet?

Professor Bhaer
We are as different as the
Morning and the night

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

Professor Bhaer
We always seem to fight

Jo
We disagree on everything

Professor Bhaer
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.

Jo
(Spoken)
You are proposing?

Professor Bhaer
(spoken)
No. Yes! Yes! I do not mean today.
Or tomorrow, or even next month.
In a year maybe, two years even.
I am a patient man.

Jo
I won’t be sweet, won’t be demure

Professor Bhaer
This I prefer, this I adore

Jo
I’ll speak my mind, you can be sure

Professor Bhaer
I’ll be enchanted to the core.

Jo
If I say, let me share your
Small umbrella.

Professor Bhaer
I’ll say, who cares if we get wet?

Jo
We’ll be as different as a
Husband and a wife

Professor Bhaer
No, we’ll be as different as a
Woman and a man

Jo
We’ll fight our way through life.

Professor Bhaer
We’ll disagree the best we can.

Jo
And yet…

Jo/Professor Bhaer
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.

Jo
Yes, we have that in common

Professor Bhaer
That one small thing in common

Jo/Professor Bhaer
Our love is like a small umbrella
In the rain
