| 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 |
