Your shine how it makes me shiver
The line you trace
It says you can still forgive her

And she will forgive you back

Oh, hey, firefly

Oh, why, firefly

And I'd given up already

And I'd let my eyes adjust
When blinking and unsteady
You say come in ...


Oh, why, firefly
Oh, why, firefly


So I will take
This new shape

But tell me, darlin'
What difference will it make?


And, oh, how it drifts through evening
And into the darkening night


And when I shine, she sees me
Oh, so brief and bright


Brief and bright, firefly
Oh, why, firefly


So I will take to this new shape
And will she know
Will I show how I can glow?


Oh, why, firefly
Brief and bright, firefly

Oh, so brief and bright
Oh, so brief and bright
Oh, so brief and bright

Oh, so brief and bright
Oh, so brief and bright
Oh, so brief and bright

Oh, so brief and bright
Oh, so brief and bright
Oh, so brief and bright
