Lyrics

FIREFLY

Children play by the steps now
I watch from the porch as the evening sets in
Fireflies always arrive about now
Twilight's the time their parties begin

So (Firefly) chase them and play with them all over the yard
(Firefly, firefly)
Make little airholes in the lids of some jars
Firefly, firefly)
To twinkle and glimmer and sparkle and shimmer (Firefly) like stars

Promise you will remember
To set them all free when it's time to go in

Roll that ball to him slowly
Sometimes they forget just how little he is
I know you think I'm so sentimental
Or showing my age talking like this

But I (Firefly) wish they could hear what I wish I could say
(Firefly, firefly)
The shortness of time the importance of play
(Firefly, firefly)
But they'd just roll their eyes quite rightly and be on (Firefly) their way

OK kids be on your way
OK kids be on your way
OK kids be on your way

Children played by these steps then
Watched from this porch as evenings set in
Fireflies always arrived about then
Twilights the time their parties began

We'd (Firefly) chase them and play with them all over the yard(
Firefly, firefly)
Make little airholes in the lids of some jars(Firefly, firefly)
To twinkle and glimmer and sparkle and (Firefly) shimmer like stars

I promised I would remember
