Firefly Lyrics by The Temptations

Love Songs

1975

[Verse 1]
Firefly, firefly
Shine your light tonight
Assist the moon and stars
In helping us
To ease our minds

[Chorus]
Firefly, firefly
Golden night of serenity, yeah
Show us the light naturally
And maybe she won't worry
When there ain't nothing I can do

[Verse 2]
When sea runs dry
And the stars fall from the sky
She's a vulnerable flower
And she believes in me
Even when I have to lie
I shouldn't have to lie
To make the world seem alright
Firefly, Firefly

[Spoken Interlude]
I come home with the weight of the world on my shoulders
But knowing the strength she sees in me
I smile because she believes me

[Chorus]
Firefly, Firefly
Golden night of serenity, yeah
Show us the light naturally
And maybe she won't worry
When ain't nothing I can do

[Verse 3]
When sea runs dry
And the stars fall from the sky
Ooh, she's a vulnerable flower
And she believes in me
Even when I have to lie
I shouldn't have to lie
To make the world seem alright

Mmm, mmm, mmm

Ooh, she's a vulnerable flower
And she believes in me
Even when I have to lie
I shouldn't have to lie
To make the world seem alright

[Outro]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, firefly
You make the world seem alright
