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
'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
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 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
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
