Fireflies Tab

by Faith Hill


                                       
Before you met me I was a fairy princess
                            
I caught frogs and called them prince
                   
And made myself a queen
                                          
And before you knew me I'd traveled 'round the world
               
And 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
                                      
And they were just fireflies to the untrained eye
                     
But I could always tell

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

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

Pre-Chorus
Chorus

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