Lyrics

You would not be lieve your eyes if ten mil lion fire ning flies as lit up the world as I fell a sleep. ’Cause they’d fill the o pen air and leave tear drops ev ’ry where. You’d think me rude but I would just stand and stare. I’d like to make my self be lieve that pla net earth (Eb)turns (Gm)slow (Ab)ly. It’s hard to say that I’d (Eb)rath er stay a (Ab)wake when I’m a (Cm)sleep. ’Cause (Ab)ev ’ry thing is (Eb)nev er as it seems. ’Cause I’d get a thou sand hugs from ten thou sand light ning bugs as they tried to teach as me how to dance; a fox trot a bove my head, a sock hop be neath my bed, a dis co ball that’s just hang ing by a thread. I’d like to make my self be lieve that pla net earth (Eb)turns (Gm)slow (Ab)ly. It’s hard to say that I’d (Eb)rath er stay a (Ab)wake when I’m a (Cm)sleep. ’Cause (Ab)ev ’ry thing is (Eb)nev er as it seems. I’d like to make my self be lieve that pla net earth (Eb)turns (Gm)slow (Ab)ly. It’s hard to say that I’d (Eb)rath er stay a (Ab)wake when I’m a (Cm)sleep. ’Cause (Ab)ev ’ry thing is (Eb)nev er as it seems when I fall a (CN.C.)sleep. Leave my door (Eb)o pen just a (Ab)crack (Please take me a way from (Bb)here.) ’cause I feel like (Eb)such an in som ni ac. (Please take me a way from (Bb)here.) Why do I tire of count ing (Ab)sheep (Please take me a way from (Bb)here.) when I’m far too (Eb)ti red to fall a (Ab)sleep? To ten mil lion (Eb)fire flies I’m weird ’cause I hate good byes. I got mist y eyes as they said fare well. But I’ll know where (Eb)sev ’ral are if my dreams get real bi zarre, ’cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar. I’d like to make my self be lieve that pla net earth (Eb)turns (Gm)slow (Ab)ly. It’s hard to say that I’d (Eb)rath er stay a (Ab)wake when I’m a (Cm)sleep. ’Cause (Ab)ev ’ry thing is (Eb)nev er as it seems when I (Eb)fall a (Ab)sleep. I’d like to make my self be lieve that pla net Earth (Eb)turns (Gm)slow (Ab)ly. It’s hard to say that I’d (Eb)rath er stay a (Ab)wake when I’m a (Cm)sleep. ’Cause (Ab)ev ’ry thing is (Eb)nev er as it seems when I fall a (Ab)sleep. I’d like to make my self be lieve that pla net Earth (Eb)turns (Gm)slow (Ab)ly. It’s hard to say that I’d (Eb)ra ther stay a (Ab)wake when I’m a (Cm)sleep. Be (Ab)cause my dreams are (Eb)burst ing at the seams.
