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
