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
