Firefly Nights

(Calaveras)

Greg Beattie, Victoria Blythe
Growing up on farm was not as boring as people might think.
Firefly nights

Do you remember those warm nights in June
When we both were still just farmer’s kids
And we walked out beneath that summertime moon
And it gave its permission for the things we did

And the crickets played rhythm to the beat of my heart
While I tasted life’s many delights
In the shadow of the new moon behind the old barn
On those magic firefly nights, those magic firefly nights

We danced in the circle of the firefly light
In the sweet green fields of summer hay
I called you my lover for the very first time
I remember it like it was yesterday

And the crickets played rhythm to the beat of my heart
While I tasted life’s many delights
In the shadow of the new moon behind the old barn
On those magic firefly nights, those magic firefly nights
