C'mon beautiful we'll go sit on the front lawn

We'll watch the fireflies as the sun goes down

They don't live too long, just a flash and then they're gone

We'll laugh at them and watch the sun go down



You're so pretty baby

You're the prettiest thing i know

You're so pretty baby

Where did you go



Tell my why you don't sleep anymore

Tell me what you sit up all night waiting for



Are you waiting for loneliness to paralyze

Are you waiting for sister midnight to unleash the tide



You're so pretty baby

You're the prettiest thing i know

You're so pretty baby

Where did you go



Finish the prayer that started as a kiss

The overwhelming dream of happiness

I'll give you all of my good luck

For the overwhelming dream that's killing us



You're so pretty baby

You're the prettiest thing i know

You're so pretty baby

Where did you go



C'mon we'll go sit on the front lawn

I'll hold you in my arms and we're gone

Here and gone, firefly
