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 tear drops
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
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
Leave my door open
just a crack
' Cause I feel like
such an insomniac
Why do I tire
of counting sheep
When I'm far too tired
to fall asleep
To ten million fireflies
I'm weird 'cause
I hate good-byes
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
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
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
