If I Had the Sun on a String

for Kaylee and Charlotte Rose

If I had the sun on a string

Like a giant yellow kite,

I’d fly it over your house

And chase away the night.

If I had a sack of shooting stars

Shining bold and bright,

I’d give them all to you

To wish on every night.

If I had a jar of fireflies

I would set them free

To shine their light upon your face

For everyone to see.
