Come on, 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 downYou'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 usYou're so pretty, baby
You're the prettiest thing I know
You're so pretty, baby
Where did you go?Come on, we'll go sit on the front lawn
I'll hold you in my arms and we're gone
Here and gone, firefly
