Your shine how it makes me shiver   The line you trace    It says you can still forgive her   And she will forgive you back      Oh, hey, firefly   Oh, why, firefly      And I'd given up already   And I'd let my eyes adjust   When blinking and unsteady   You say come in ...      Oh, why, firefly   Oh, why, firefly      So I will take   This new shape   But tell me, darlin'   What difference will it make?      And, oh, how it drifts through evening   And into the darkening night   And when I shine, she sees me   Oh, so brief and bright      Brief and bright, firefly   Oh, why, firefly      So I will take to this new shape   And will she know   Will I show how I can glow?      Oh, why, firefly   Brief and bright, firefly   Oh, so brief and bright   Oh, so brief and bright   Oh, so brief and bright   Oh, so brief and bright   Oh, so brief and bright   Oh, so brief and bright   Oh, so brief and bright   Oh, so brief and bright   Oh, so brief and bright
