SUNSHINE GIRL
THERE SHE STOOD
BEHIND THE COUNTER
A BEAUTIFUL SMILING BAJAN GIRL
WITH EYES THAT DREW ME TO HER SOUL
A SOUL THAT WAS FILLED WITH GOODNESS AND LOVE
A SOUL THAT WAS MADE IN HEAVEN ABOVE.
I STARED FOR A SECOND,WHO COULD SHE BE?
SHE IS AN ANGEL
SENT TO THIS PLACE,
TO BRING SOME SUNSHINE
INTO OUR DAILY RACE.
