FUnderneath a Cweb of summer staGrs
CFireflieEms flicker by
AmIn a scene where Gregory EmPeck catches Audrey GHepburn's eye
FYou look at me the Cmoment that I'm 
FStaring, Darling, Cdo I dare

C Em

Way up high in my tree

Am Em G

We would climb to get a peak at the drive-in movie screen

F C

Watching people from afar

F C

Cozied up inside their cars

F C G

Underneath a web of summer stars

C Em

Fireflies flicker by

Am Em G

In a scene where Gregory Peck catches Audrey Hepburn's eye

F C

You look at me the moment that I'm

F C

Staring, Darling, do I dare

F C G

To say the one thing I want you to know?

[Chorus]

If life's a picture show

I want to sit with you on the back row

In the film projector's glow

F G C

While we kiss on the lips as the credits roll

C Em

In my mind I create

Am Em G

My own movie with my grandfather's vintage Super 8

F C

I write a script where you will be

F C

The dashing boy who's after me

F C G

And maybe we could make this story a reality because

[Chorus]

Dm C

I'd like to play the part of your leading lady

With a heart that's bravely beating

Frame by frame in time repeating

[Chorus]
