Fireflies

Before you met me
I was a fairy princess
I caught frogs and called them prince
And made myself a queen
And before you knew me
I'd traveled 'round the world
And I slept in castles
And fell in love
Because I was taught to dream
I found mayonnaise bottles and poked holes on top
To capture Tinker Bell
And they were just fireflies to the untrained eye
But I could always tell Cause
I believe in fairy tales
And dreamer's dreams Like bedsheet sails
And I believe in Peter Pan
And miracles, anything
I can to get by And fireflies
Now before I grew up I saw you on a cloud
And I could bless myself in your name
And pat you on your wings
And before I grew up
I heard you whisper so loud
Well life is hard and so is love Child,
believe in all these things
I found mayonnaise bottles and poked holes on top
To capture Tinker Bell And they were just fireflies to the untrained eye
But I could always tell Cause
I believe in fairy tales
And dreamer's dreams Like bedsheet sails
And I believe in Peter Pan And miracles, anything I can to get by . . .
And fireflies And fireflies . . .
Before you met me
I was a fairy princess
I caught frogs and called them prince
And made myself a queen
And before you knew me
I'd traveled 'round the world
And I slept in castles
And fell in love Because
I was taught to dream
