Sara Groves - Fireflies and Songs lyrics

rate me

Thirty years ago I was a little girl <br />Riding in the back seat of the car. <br />A woman sang 'You don't bring me flowers anymore.' <br />I felt the sadness in my little heart. <br /> <br />We're looking for the music <br />In the music box, <br />Tearing it to pieces, <br />Trying to find a song. <br /> <br />I was drawn to you in ways I can't explain. <br />I fought like crazy but I couldn't stay away. <br />Piled on expectations and lots of blame, <br />like we couldn't do it any other way. <br /> <br />We're looking for a firefly <br />Moving through the night, <br />Staring at that one place <br />Swear it never lights. <br /> <br />We're looking for the music <br />In the music box, <br />Tearing it to pieces, <br />Trying to find a song. <br /> <br />Were you surprised our hearts were not like ticking clocks? <br />The faces and hands easy to read. <br />We both wished 'if only in the land of Oz.' <br />And longed for things we'd never really need. <br /> <br />Now we're standing in the kitchen, <br />All pretense is gone. <br />You kiss me on the shoulder. <br />Fireflies and songs.<br /><br />
