[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
Unrolled a blanket down by the Gwater
It's just you and me toCnight
Our campfire's gettin' Dsleepy
The whole world is goin' Gquiet
[Verse 2]
The evenin' light is fadin' aGway
A gentle breeze is blowin' Cpast
Makin' the grass slowly Ddance
Wish this night wouldn't go so Gfast
[Chorus]
Watchin' fireflies in West CTexas
   DSittin' under the the cyprGus trees
See the moon rise over the Criver
   DNo place I'd ratheGr be
[Verse 3]
Can't stop life from racin' Gby
There's magic in the air Ctonight
I'll remember every Dmoment
For the rest of my Glife
[Chorus]
Watchin' fireflies in West CTexas
   DSittin' under the the cyprGus trees
See the moon rise over the Criver
   DNo place I'd ratheGr be
[Bridge]
   FAnd I once see a shooting Cstar
But I won't wish on 'em Ganymore
   FJust you sayin' that you Clove me
Is all I can Dask for
[Chorus]
Watchin' fireflies in West CTexas
   DSittin' under the the cyprGus trees
See the moon rise over the Criver
   DNo place I'd ratheGr be
[Outro]
You and me and the fiCreflies
   DLyin' under the cypGrus trees
See the sun rise over the Criver
                  DN.C.
   No place I'd rather be

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

Unrolled a blanket down by the water

It's just you and me tonight

Our campfire's gettin' sleepy

The whole world is goin' quiet

[Verse 2]

The evenin' light is fadin' away

A gentle breeze is blowin' past

Makin' the grass slowly dance

Wish this night wouldn't go so fast

[Chorus]

Watchin' fireflies in West Texas

D G

Sittin' under the the cyprus trees

See the moon rise over the river

D G

No place I'd rather be

[Verse 3]

Can't stop life from racin' by

There's magic in the air tonight

I'll remember every moment

For the rest of my life

[Chorus]

Watchin' fireflies in West Texas

Sittin' under the the cyprus trees

See the moon rise over the river

D G

No place I'd rather be

[Bridge]

F C

And I once see a shooting star

But I won't wish on 'em anymore

F C

Just you sayin' that you love me

Is all I can ask for

[Chorus]

Watchin' fireflies in West Texas

D G

Sittin' under the the cyprus trees

See the moon rise over the river

D G

No place I'd rather be

[Outro]

You and me and the fireflies

D G

Lyin' under the cyprus trees

See the sun rise over the river

N.C.

No place I'd rather be
