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
