You'll only see her once a year
|
Because her schedule is tight
|
It's only when the summertime draws near
|
She'll shed her beauty on the night
|
|
The noise she makes you will not hear
|
But with her phosphorescent light
|
She'll try to help your vision to be clear
|
And keep your spirits very bright
|
|
Oh firefly, when you spread your wings
|
You make little rings
|
That light up the evening sky
|
Oh firefly, when you spread your wings
|
You make nighttime sing
|
When you start to fly, you're never shy
|
I wish you'd never die
|
|
When autumn cuts in like a knife
|
Her wings will slowly start to fray
|
And then the earth will take her as its wife
|
Into the ground she'll melt away
|
|
But the glowing, vibrant life you saw
|
That kept her busy yesterday
|
Is only resting till the ice will thaw
|
Then she'll be back again to play
|
|
Oh firefly, when you spread your wings
|
You make little rings
|
That light up the evening sky
|
Oh firefly, when you spread your wings
|
You make nighttime sing
|
When you start to fly, you're never shy
|
I know you'll never die
|
