Fireflies
They float dreamily through the summer night,
Across a soft, sky-lit sunset of red,
And their backs glow with a green colored light.
A fire in the woods is burning so bright,
Now that the true heat of the day has fled,
They float dreamily through the summer night.
From the trees in the forest they take flight,
Moving towards the shore of the lake instead,
And their backs glow with a green colored light.
Flying further now - intrigued by the sight
Of the cabin where their travels have led -
They float dreamily through the summer night.
A bright full moon gently bathes them in white,
As they fly past a window by the bed,
And their backs glow with a green colored light.
They circle through the air as we sleep tight,
Now dreaming of the cooler days ahead.
They float dreamily through the summer night,
And their backs glow with a green colored light.
