Lori McKenna Fireflies lyrics

Before you met me, I was a fairy princess
I caught frogs and called them Prince
And made myself a queen

And before you knew me, I traveled 'round the world
And I slept in castles and fell in love
Because I was taught to dream

I found mayonnaise bottles
And poked holes on top to capture Tinkerbell
And they were just fireflies to the untrained eye
But I could always tell

'Cause I believe in fairy tales
And dreamer's dreams like bed sheet sails
And I believe in Peter Pan and miracles
And anything I can to get by and fireflies

Now, before I grew by, saw you on a cloud
And I could bless myself in your name
And pat you on your wings

And before I grew by, heard you whisper so loud

Well, life is hard and so is love, child
Believe in all these things

I found mayonnaise bottles
And poked holes on top to capture Tinkerbell
And they were just fireflies to the untrained eye
But I could always tell

'Cause I believe in fairy tales
And dreamer's dreams like bed sheet sails
And I believe in Peter Pan and miracles
And anything I can to get by and fireflies, and fireflies

Before you met me, I was a fairy princess
I caught frogs and called them Prince
And made myself a queen

And before you knew me, I traveled 'round the world
And I slept in castles and fell in love
Because I was taught to dream
