Fireflies Lyrics

A cool summer night was spent watching the fireflies
Dancing in the light of the moon
Who would have guessed what we thought was real
Was so fragile and ended so soon
I miss what we had together
We promised each other forever

That was along time ago, I don't even know
I barely recognize the places that we used to go
I've lost track of time, it seems like just yesterday
But you're slipping away, you're slipping away

Well I've reminisced
And recollected all the thoughts of you
And placed them in a box under my bed
But nothing I do and nothing anyone can say
Can erase the memories in my head
You're a vision that won't go away
Why won't you stay? Why won't you stay?

Was a long time ago, I don't even know
I don't recognize the places that we used to go
I've lost track of time, it seems like just yesterday
But you're slipping away, your slipping away
