Firefly Creek

[Chorus] Oh, that summer of '89 Chasing fireflies, a perfect time With you by the creek, the sun sinking low A memory I can't let go [Verse] Grandma's kitchen, jam on the breeze Sweetest scent through the rustling trees That old dirt road, it seemed to lead nowhere But we found magic waiting there [Pre-Chorus] A rusty swing set creaked a tune Beneath the hazy afternoon Cherry popsicle, sticky sweet and bright Fading in the golden light [Chorus] Oh, that summer of '89 Chasing fireflies, a perfect time With you by the creek, the sun sinking low A memory I can't let go [Verse] The distant tractor hummed a lullaby Cicadas buzzed beneath the sky Your hand in mine, a gentle, shy embrace Time stood still in that quiet place [Bridge] We watched the lightning bugs ignite and fade In the twilight serenade Promises whispered, secrets softly told A story brave and bold [Chorus] Oh, that summer of '89 Chasing fireflies, a perfect time With you by the creek, the sun sinking low A memory I can't let go [Outro]
