You would not believe your eyes
|
If ten million fireflies
|
Lit up the world as I fell 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.
|
It's 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 lightening bugs
|
As they tried to teach me how to dance.
|
A foxtrot above my head,
|
A sock-hop beneath my bed,
|
The disco ball is just hanging by a thread.
|
|
I'd like to make myself believe
|
That planet Earth turns slowly.
|
It's 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 from here.)
|
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep
|
To ten million 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 keep them in a jar.
|
|
I'd like to make myself believe
|
That planet Earth turns slowly.
|
It's 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.
|
It's hard to say that I'd
|
Rather stay awake when I'm asleep
|
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams
