Don't get surprisednDon't you realizenNothing's meant to lastnCan't you tell I'm coming back againnAnd my love has gone too fastnIf your heart is going to cracknAnd fall apart like thatnDid you ever guessnI'd want to keep this messnNo, you can't have it backnnSee me shimmer in the nightnLike a firefly burning bright nShimmer baby shimmernFor your lovennWell, I saynThere's one born every daynBut you think it doesn't paynTo treat you in that waynSo you laugh it offnAnd turn awaynTry to make the most of itnI see you'll never appreciatenThe truth that is in itnnSee me shimmer in the nightnLike a firefly burning bright nShimmer baby shimmernFor your lovennSee me shimmer in the nightnLike a firefly burning bright nShimmer baby shimmernFor your lovennOn a night that's made for lovenI look up to the stars abovenThere's one they say for everyonenThat comes out when the day has gonenBut there'll never be a star for youn'Cause of what you put me throughnNo there'll never be a star for youn'Cause God knows what you put me throughnnSee me shimmer in the nightnLike a firefly burning bright nShimmer baby shimmernFor your lovennSee me shimmer in the nightnLike a firefly burning bright nShimmer baby shimmernFor your lovenFor your love
