Lyrics:

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 ev'rybody's past

And she can make you slow

While making your mind move fast

She's my sunny girlfriend

And she is never last.

Oh, 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 ev'rywhere

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.
