You would not believe your eyes AMAZING! SEE

If ten million fireflies TEN MILLION LIGHT FLIES

Lit up the world as I fell asleep I SLEEP, WORLD LIGHT-UP

'Cause they'd fill the open air FLIES [NUMEROUS]

And leave teardrops everywhere TEAR DROPS [ALL-AROUND]

You'd think me rude I MAYBE RUDE

But I would just stand and stare I STAND, LOOK-AROUND

I'd like to make myself believe I REALLY WANT BELIEVE

That planet Earth turns slowly WORLD ROTATE SLOW

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay I PREFER SLEEP, DREAM,

Awake when I'm asleep NOT AWAKE

'Cause everything is never as it seems WHY? VARIETY

'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs I RECEIVE MANY HUG

From ten thousand lightning bugs FROM TEN THOUSAND LIGHT FLIES

As they tried to teach me how to dance THEY TEACH-ME HOW DANCE

A foxtrot above my head [DANCING ABOVE]

A sock hop beneath my bed BED [DANCING BELOW]

A disco ball is just hanging by a thread LIGHT BALL [HANG THIN LINE]

I'd like to make myself believe I REALLY WANT BELIEVE

That planet Earth turns slowly WORLD ROTATE SLOW

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay I PREFER SLEEP, DREAM,

Awake when I'm asleep NOT AWAKE

'Cause everything is never as it seems WHY? VARIETY

(When I fall asleep)

Leave my door open just a crack MY DOOR [OPEN SLIGHTLY]

(Please take me away from here)

'Cause I feel like such an insomniac I FEEL RESTLESS

(Please take me away from here)

Why do I tire of counting sheep SHEEP COUNT 1-2-3 BORING

(Please take me away from here)

When I'm far too tired to fall asleep I TIRED EXCESSIVE, CANT SLEEP

To ten million fireflies TEN MILLION LIGHT FLIES

I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes [LOOK-AT-ME] THINK HE WEIRD

I got misty eyes as they said farewell WHY? THEY LEAVE, I CRY

But I'll know where several are BUT IF MY DREAMS STRANGE

If my dreams get real bizarre I CAN FIND SEVERAL

'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar {JAR} I CATCH, KEEP

I'd like to make myself believe I REALLY WANT BELIEVE

That planet Earth turns slowly WORLD ROTATE SLOW

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay I PREFER SLEEP, DREAM,

Awake when I'm asleep NOT AWAKE

'Cause everything is never as it seems WHY? VARIETY

I'd like to make myself believe I REALLY WANT BELIEVE

That planet Earth turns slowly WORLD ROTATE SLOW

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay I PREFER SLEEP, DREAM,

Awake when I'm asleep NOT AWAKE

'Cause everything is never as it seems WHY? VARIETY

I'd like to make myself believe I REALLY WANT BELIEVE

That planet Earth turns slowly WORLD ROTATE SLOW

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay I PREFER SLEEP, DREAM,

Awake when I'm asleep NOT AWAKE

Because my dreams are bursting at the seams MY DREAMS [BURSTING THROUGH]
