Fireflies
Connie Talbot

You would not believe your eyes

If ten million fireflies

Lit up the world as I fell asleep


'Cause they'd 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 lightning bugs

As they tried to teach me how to dance


A foxtrot above my head

A sock hop beneath my bed

A 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

'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
