Republic of Sunshine

So there you are

Like a freshly fallen star

Too hot to touch

Too bright to stare

I could try, but do I dare?

I’ll roll up my sleeve so you can’t see my heart

Though it’s long since stopped beating right from the start

Of your lashy eyelashes right to the tip of your fingers

I’ll write you up with a glowing citation

And I’ll mail it off to the United Nations

Who’ll appoint you the Queen of the three most beautiful stations

The Republic of Sunshine, the Kingdom of Sky

And these United States of the Clouds That Float By

So that I can live under your rule forever and ever

So there you are

Like a freshly fallen star

Too hot to touch

Too bright to stare
