Lori McKenna - Fireflies lyrics
[Lori McKenna - Fireflies lyrics]
Before you met me I was a fairy, a princess
I caught frogs and called them prince
And made myself a queen
And before you knew me
I 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 Tinkerbell
And they were just fireflies
To the untrained eye
But I could always tell
'Cause, I believe in fairytales
And dreamers' dreams, like bedsheet sails
And I believe in Peter Pan
And miracles and 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 Tinkerbell
And they were just fireflies
To the untrained eye
But I could always tell
'Cause, I believe in fairytales
And dreamers' dreams, like bedsheet sails
And I believe in Peter Pan
And miracles and anything I can to get by
And fireflies (Fireflies)
And fireflies
Before you met me I was a fairy, a princess
I caught frogs and called them prince
And made myself a queen
And before you knew me
I traveled 'round the world
And I slept in castles and fell in
Love because I was taught to dream
I caught frogs and called them prince
And made myself a queen
And before you knew me
I 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 Tinkerbell
And they were just fireflies
To the untrained eye
But I could always tell
'Cause, I believe in fairytales
And dreamers' dreams, like bedsheet sails
And I believe in Peter Pan
And miracles and 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 Tinkerbell
And they were just fireflies
To the untrained eye
But I could always tell
'Cause, I believe in fairytales
And dreamers' dreams, like bedsheet sails
And I believe in Peter Pan
And miracles and anything I can to get by
And fireflies (Fireflies)
And fireflies
Before you met me I was a fairy, a princess
I caught frogs and called them prince
And made myself a queen
And before you knew me
I traveled 'round the world
And I slept in castles and fell in
Love because I was taught to dream
