Summer Nights and Fireflies

Summer nights and fireflies

Are all you need for magic

Smell the flowers in the air

It is almost tragic



One mystical night

When I was but a lass

He caught them for me

And we placed them in a glass



We watched them glow

For a little while

Looking at each other

And watching the other smile



Such simple things

Can cause such joy

I was just a girl

And he was just a boy



But on that magical night

We became so much more

Somehow two children

Had found that door



A night I will never forget

Watching the fireflies dance

Standing in that field

It felt almost like a trance



The stars overhead

Were so bright and clear

We were one with the world

And had nothing to fear



Summer nights and fireflies

Are all that's needed for magic

You can't have one without the other

And their beauty is quite tragic
