Lyrics
Uma
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
And in our overlapping lives, 30 years on either side
Never thought I'd be surprised that I'm alive when you're alive.
When I stare into your eyes my reflection falls aside
Can't always get you to stop crying
But we both know you'll be fine.
Uma, uma, let out a little sigh
To let me know you're mine, uma.
Try not to make the old mistake, tell you I love you every day.
Find your own way to rebel and you can lie about yourself.
When our thoughts really connect
I know you need my sound effects.
Hope I still can make you smile when I get to be senile.
Uma, uma, let out a little sigh
To let me know you're mine, uma.
Hope I don't pass down all my flaws to uma.
I hear my frustration in your calls
I'm here to break your fall.
I'll miss you when you're grown up, uma.
Uma
