Stevie Holland - Firefly lyrics

Youll only see her once a year Because her schedule is tight Its only when the summertime draws near Shell shed her beauty on the night The noise she makes you will not hear But with her phosphorescent light Shell try to help your vision to be clear And keep your spirits very bright Oh firefly, when you spread your wings You make little rings That light up the evening sky Oh firefly, when you spread your wings You make nighttime sing When you start to fly, youre never shy I wish youd never die When autumn cuts in like a knife Her wings will slowly start to fray And then the earth will take her as its wife Into the ground shell melt away But the glowing, vibrant life you saw That kept her busy yesterday Is only resting till the ice will thaw Then shell be back again to play Oh firefly, when you spread your wings You make little rings That light up the evening sky Oh firefly, when you spread your wings You make nighttime sing When you start to fly, youre never shy I know youll never die
