Lyrics The Wailin' Jennys

The Wailin' Jennys

Mona Louise

I’m gonna sing till 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 they can’t sit still

Oh wake up the day

Darken the night

Lighten my eyelids cause I don’t wanna sleep

While you’re shining so bright

Sweet Mona Louise

I’m gonna carry your picture

Til I fix up a place down the stream

It might be a long time till we’re catching rainbow trout

But don’t you doubt cause we always will

Oh wake up the day

Darken the night

Lighten my eyelids cause I don’t wanna 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 the simple gifts that shine everywhere I see

Shine for me Mona Louise

So wake up the day

Darken the night

Lighten my eyelids cause I don’t wanna sleep

While you’re shining so bright

Sweet Mona Louise

Sweet dreams
