fireflies

You would not believe your eyes if ten million fireflies

Lit up the world as i fall asleep

‘Cause they fill the open air and leave teardrops everywhere

You’d think me rude but i would just stand and stare

I’d like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly

Its hard to say  that i’d rather stay awake when i’m asleep

‘cause everything is never as it seems

‘Cause i’d get a thousand hugs from ten thousand lightning bugs

As they try to teach me how to dance

A foxtrot above my head a sockhop beneath my bed

A disco ball just hanging by a thread

I’d like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly

Its hard to say  that i’d rather stay awake when i’m asleep

‘cause everything is never as it seems

(When i fall asleep)

Leave my door open just a crack

(Please take me away from here)

‘Cause i feel like such an insomniac

(Please take me away from here)

Why do i tire of counting sheep

(Please take me away form here)

When i’m far too tired to fall asleep

To ten milion fireflies i’m weird ‘cause i hate goodbyes

I got misty eyes as they said farewell

But i’ll know where several are if my dreams get real bizarre

‘Cause i saved a few and i kept them in a jar

I’d like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly

Its hard to say  that i’d rather stay awake when i’m asleep

‘cause everything is never as it seems

(When i fall asleep)

I’d like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly

Its hard to say  that i’d rather stay awake when i’m asleep

‘cause everything is never as it seems

(When i fall asleep)

I’d like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly

Its hard to say  that i’d rather stay awake when i’m asleep

‘cause my dreams are bursting out the seams

kids see things differently...when adults busy teaching their kids about how life is going to be, the kids are actually showing the adults what life is all about...so listen to your kids and they will listen to you...
