Fireflies

Verse 1
I’m standing here by myself … in the fading light.
Watching the fireflies come out … as it turns to night.
Standing by the water … I think about you and me.
And how we could dancing like … the fireflies I see.

Chorus
Watching the fireflies … dancing on the water.
It’s a picture of … total serenity.
Watching them glide around … so delightfully.
Oh, how I wish that could be you and me.

Verse 2
Is your future locked or can you change fate.
Can we be together … or is it too late
In my arms … I hope you want to be
And with a little luck … that might be you and me

Chorus
Like the fireflies … dancing on the water.
It’s a picture of … total serenity.
Watching them glide around … so delightfully.
Oh, how I wish that could be you and me.

Bridge
I know things aren’t that simple … I’m not that naïve.
But I’d like to think there’s hope … if you just believe. So, I’m

Chorus
Watching the fireflies … dancing on the water.
It’s a picture of … total serenity.
Watching them glide around … so delightfully.
I still wish that could be you and me.

Ah, fireflies sound wonderful with this cold weather! Lovely!

A nicely gentle love song about longing. The protagonist is at the stage where absolutely anything they encounter becomes a metaphor for their unrequited (?) love and oh boy, we've all been there...
