"Good Morning, Merry Sunshine"

           
   
1.
Good morning, merry sunshine,
How did you wake so soon?
You've scared the little stars away,
And shined away the moon;
I saw you go to sleep last night,
Before I ceased my playing,
How did you get way over here,
And where have you been staying.
   
           
   
2.
I never go to sleep dear,
I just go 'round to see
My little children of the East,
Who rise to watch for me.
I waken all the birds and bees,
And flowers on my way.
Then last of all the little child
Who stayed out late to play.
