Lyrics

Dance with the Fireflies
© Susie Strange

It’s the end of the summer,
the dusk of our youth
The last breath of innocence,
the moment of truth
Some nights have magic we won’t see again
With this field as our dance floor,
won’t you come take my hand, and

Let’s dance with the fireflies on a moonlit night
Dance with the fireflies, bathe in their light
Sometimes you get just one chance
While we’ve got it, why don’t we dance, with the fireflies tonight?

They’re only here briefly,
then gone in a glance
The essence of summer,
the light of romance
As twilight is fading,
let’s follow their lead
And shine up the darkness so that everyone sees, and

Let’s dance with the fireflies on a moonlit night
Dance with the fireflies, bathe in their light
Sometimes you get just one chance
While we’ve got it, why don’t we dance, with the fireflies tonight?

Who cares if we stumble, who cares if we fall?
At least for this moment, we have it all.
With stars shining bright above and fireflies below,
When you hold me this close there’s one thing I know

Let’s dance with the fireflies on a moonlit night
Dance with the fireflies, bathe in their light
Sometimes you get just one chance
While we’ve got it, why don’t we dance, with the fireflies tonight?
