Lyrics

I got a girl she shines like neon signs I got a clock, and every hour it chimes and when I look at you I’m always smiling and everything is good without even trying Uh huh, oh yeah

I like to swim; I’d like to live near the sea I guess you know, I’d like you to live there with me we can have bonfires on the sand we can walk under the stars hand in hand Uh huh, for sure

I wrote this to say you brighten up every day

shine shine bright eyes shine shine my firefly star shine treasure of mine I treasure you all of the time

I got a girl, she shines like sapphires and diamonds when I go mad, her arms are my own asylum when I look at you I’m always smitten be my puppy dog, I’ll be your kitten uh huh, right on

I wrote this to say you lighten every day

shine shine bright eyes shine shine my firefly sunshine treasure of mine I’d pleasure you all of the time

got a guitar, or two, I love to strum it and if you like this song, you just might hum it

I wrote this today recorded it for you to play

shine shine bright eyes hmm hmm hmmm

brightest star, brighter than the sun I like you more than anyone else brightest star in the milky way come on over, brighten up the day

shine shine bright eyes shine shine bright eyes shine shine bright eyes shine shine shine

Your cheery songs are so sunny! I have a hard time relating, but I'm better for trying to :)

The sincerity of different lines like "star shine treasure of mine" are winsome. I like the doubling of the vocals and the occasional moments they part ways to sing close harmonies. Favorite line: "when I go mad, her arms are my own asylum" Would download if the button were there.

Bright and shiny first line--neon signs are a great start. Other hilarious yet evocative metaphors: "her arms are my own asylum." The vocal is really winsome, young and free. In fact, innocent love permeates this fun and lovely song.

Great song to listen to on Valentine’s Day. Love the line “when I go mad…”. Very cool chorus. Loved it.

It’s like watching someone manoeuvre through a minefield! The lyric remain elusive slipping an and sliding just out of reach! I love the guitalele it holds it. So catchy so interesting!
