Verse
CYou would not believe your Geyes
AmIf ten million fFireflies lit uCp the world as i Gfell asAmleeFp
C'Cause they'd fill the Gopen air 
Amand leave teardrops Feverywhere
Cyou'd think me Grude but I'd just sAmtand and Fstare
Chorus:
AmI'd like to make Cmyself belGieve
that planet AmEarth tCurns sGlowlyF  
Its hard Amto say that I'd Grather stay aCwake whGen I'm Amasleep
Am'Cause everything is Cnever as it Dseems
Verse:
Cause id get a thousand hugs from ten thousand lightning bugs
as they tried to teach me how to dance
A foxtrot above my head
a sockhop beneath my bed
a disco ball is just hanging by a thread
AmI'd like to make Cmyself belGieve
that planet AmEarth tCurns sGlowlyF  
Its hard Amto say that I'd Grather stay aCwake whGen I'm Amasleep
Am'Cause everything is Cnever as it Dseems
CWhen i fall asleep lGeave my door open just a crack
Am(please take me Faway from here)
CCause i feel like such an iGnsomniac
Am(please take me away Ffrom here)
why do i tire of counting sheep
(please take me away from here)
when I'm far too tired to fall asleep
To ten million fireflies
Im weird cause i hate goodbyes
i got misty eyes as they said farewell
but ill know where several are
if my dreams get real bizarre
cause i saved a few and i keep them in a jar
Chorus (x2)
AmI'd like to make Cmyself belGieve
that planet AmEarth tCurns sGlowlyF  
Its hard Amto say that I'd Grather stay aCwake whGen I'm Amasleep
Am'Cause everything is Cnever as it Dseems
