Fireflies

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 seam
