Firefly (B. Spagnardi)

Little firefly, glad you came along
I was growing dim before your golden light turned on
Bright beacon guide me to the dawn
Open my eyes, little firefly

Simple and honest, let your green light shine
Dance ‘neath the twilight, not a worry on your mind
Radiant laugher as I chase you through the night
Fill me with pride, little firefly

They say your brilliance with fade
Flicker then flutter away
Turn your lamp on high, firefly

Wish I could keep you in a mason jar
Safe by me side, you'd never stray too far
Illuminate my life when the world is dark
Stop the hands of time, little firefly

Days are getting shorter, the autumn moon hangs low
Just let me hold you and then I'll let you go
Give me one last chance to bask in your glow
Before you say goodbye, little firefly
Before you say goodbye, little firefly
