Lyrics

She sits on the counter
In a little pink onesy that her grandma gave me
She?s got a smile that?s as big as California and
Eyes that sparkle like the Northern Star

And, oh, my eyes keep blinking

She sits on the counter
And listens to the music that my sister gave me
She?s got hair like a whacked-out bushman
A laugh that rumbles like Niagara Falls

And, oh, my eyes keep blinking

From the kitchen to the living room is fourteen paces
From there to the stairs it?s twenty-nine
Seventeen stairs to the upstairs landing
Five paces front and five behind
And three to the side
Will catch him sleeping

I look to the counter
Through the haze of a headache that her daddy gave me
But she?s got a smile that?s as big as California
A laugh like music and a beating heart and a
Cry that?ll fill the entire Grand Canyon
Eyes that sparkle like the Northern Star

Oh, the Northern Star
