The Wailin' Jennys - Mona Louise lyrics

rate me

Well I'm gonna sing til my feet turn blue

I'll sing loud enough to go through the mountains to you

I'm gonna dance when the music stops

When soft hearts can't sit still

[Chorus}

So wake up the day

Darken the light

Lighten my eyelids

Cause I don't wanna sleep

while you're shinin' so bright

Sweet Mona Louise

And I'm gonna carry your picture

til I fix up a place down the street

It might be a long time til we're catchin' rainbow trout

But don't you doubt we always will

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

Sweet, sweet dreams
