“Sunny Girlfriend”

She owns and operates her own sunshine factory
Of painting smiles on dolls and then on me
She’s my sunny girlfriend and personality

Well, she’s got a book that tells about everybody’s past
And she can make you slow while making your mind move fast
She’s my sunny girlfriend, and she is never last

While I am sleeping
Then she comes creeping
Into my thoughts at night
Gazing down through eyes as bright as wonder

She can send you on your way to everywhere
She’s only started after you think that she is there
Well, she’s my sunny girlfriend, and she just doesn’t care
Yes, she’s my sunny girlfriend, she doesn’t really care
