Fireflies Songtext
von Connie Talbot

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 try 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 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 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 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 like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
