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 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 lightening 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.
+
(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
+
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams
+
