Sharing a good tune

A while back, I bought Faith Hill's album "Fireflies". I really like Faith Hill, and try to keep up with all her new releases. I discovered the most beautiful, quaint little song which just happens to be the title track. If ever you were a little girl this song will speak to you.

Just felt like sharing as it came up on my playlist this evening!

Fireflies
by Faith Hill

Before you met me I was a fairy princess
I caught frogs and called them prince and made myself a queen
Before you knew me I'd traveled 'round the world
I slept in castles and fell in love
Because I was taught to dream

I found mayonnaise bottles and poked holes on top
To capture Tinker Bell
They were just fireflies to the untrained eye
But I could always tell

I believe in fairy tales
And dreamer's dreams, like bedsheet sails
And I believe in Peter Pan
And miracles, and anything I can to get by
And fireflies

Now before I grew up I saw you on a cloud
I could bless myself in your name and pat you on your wings
Before I grew up I heard you whisper so loud
"Life is hard and so is love, Child, believe in all these things"

I found mayonnaise bottles and poked holes on top
To capture Tinker Bell
They were just fireflies to the untrained eye
But I could always tell

I believe in fairy tales
And dreamer's dreams like bedsheet sails
And I believe in Peter Pan
And miracles, and anything I can to get by . . .
And fireflies

Before you met me I was a fairy princess
I caught frogs and called them prince and made myself a queen
Before you knew me I'd traveled 'round the world
I slept in castles and fell in love
Because I was taught to dream
