The Wailin' Jennys - Mona Louise Lyrics

I'm going to sing till my feet turn blue,
I'll sing loud enough to go through the mountains to you,
I'm going to dance when the music stops,
When soft hearts that can't sit still,

So wake up the day and darken the night
Lighten my eyes
'Cause I don't want to sleep while you're shining so bright
Sweet Mona Louise

I'm going to carry your picture,
Till I fix up a place down the street,
It might be a long time till we're catching rainbows child,
But don't you doubt we always will,

So won't you wake up the day and darken the night,
Lighten my eyes,
'Cause I don't want to sleep while you're shining so bright,
Sweet Mona Louise

The waterfall will rock your little song to sleep,
The light will spark your heart,
And you'll rise up to keep,
All those simple gifts that shine everywhere I see,
Shine for me, Mona Louise

Won't you wake up the day and darken the night,
Lighten my eyes,
'Cause I don't want to sleep while you're shining so bright,
Sweet Mona Louise
Sweet, sweet Dreams.
