Fireflies sing and play along

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 ev'rywhere.

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 ev'rything is never as it seems.

'Cause I get a thousand hugs from ten thousand lightning bugs as they try to teach me they how to dance.

A fox trot above my head,

if a sock dreams hop get 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 ev'rything 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?

sleep. 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 ev'rything 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.
