You would not believe your eyes. If ten-million fireflies. Lit up the world. As I fell asleep. Cause they fill the open air. And leave teardrops everywhere. You'd think me rude. But I would just stand and stare. I'd like to make myself believe. That planet earth turns slowly. It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake. when I'm asleep. Cause everything is never as it seems. Cause I'd get a thousand hugs. From ten-thousand lightning bugs. As they try to teach me how to dance. A foxtrot above my head. A sock hop beneath my bed. A disco ball is just hanging by a thread. I'd like to make myself believe. That planet earth turns slowly. It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake. when I'm asleep. Cause everything is never as it seems.... Leave my door open just a crack. (Please take me away from here). Cause I feel like such an insomniac. (Please take me away from 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. I'm weird cause I hate goodbyes. I got misty eyes. As they said farewell. (Farewell). But I'll know where several are. If my dreams get real bizarre. Cause I'd save a few. And I'd keep them in a jar. I'd like to make myself believe. That planet earth turns slowly. It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm. asleep. Cause everything is never as it seems. (When I fall asleep). I'd like to make myself believe. That planet earth turns slowly. It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake. when I'm asleep. Cause everything is never as it seems. (When I fall asleep). I'd like to make myself believe. That planet earth turns slowly. It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake. when I'm asleep. Because my dreams are bursting at the seems
