Once I could see you in a room full of chaos.
But lately, where are you?
Once you were the body to my soul.
But lately, why can’t I breathe?
Once I could find love in your touch.
But lately, who are you, in the guise of my lover?
Once you were the firefly guiding me to moonlight.
But lately, how did I end up chasing shadows?
I know you are now gone.
But can you not come back and hold on to me, tonight?
I know the magic is now lost.
But can you not turn back in time?
I know you will now say goodbye.
But can you not go back and say hi?
I know the moon will now never rise.
But can you not be my firefly, again?
Tomorrow when I see you,
I shall feel sorrow no more.
Tomorrow when I let you go,
I shall wait no more.
Tomorrow when I leave,
I shall say no more.
Tomorrow when I am in the dark,
I shall look for a firefly no more.
But
For today, can you tell me once, you are still mine to love?
For today, let me be here long after you’re gone.
For today, let the heart long for you after you leave.
For today, can you shine at night, like a firefly?
