For Ella

You were running through the backyard
Said the puddles were the ocean
Now the smell of rainy days always remind 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
