lyrics

Just like magic
Summer plays upon my mind again
Just like magic
Here with all her tricks and foolish whims

Don’t let it slip away
And don’t hold back a thing today
You may never have this chance again

Firefly
Your summer is too short
The light that you make is your reason
Bright as any star
High in the sky tonight
But you’re gone forever
With the morning light

Late last night
While I was dreaming
I heard a crashing sound
When I went out I saw
This fallen star on my front lawn
Glowing in the night
Piece of a star
That once burned bright
Like the firefly it’s flight
Could never last too long

(chorus)

You might think today
Is just like any other day
But for those that see
There’s more than meets the eye they say

(chorus)
