The Wailin' Jennys - Mona Louise Lyrics

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

[repeat chorus]

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

[repeat chorus]

Sweet, sweet dreams
