Rolled a blanket down by the water It's just you and me tonight I can't fight us getting sleepy The whole world is going quiet Even lights fading away Gentle breeze is blowing past Making the grass slowly dance Wish this night wouldn't go so fast Watching fireflies in west Texas Sittin' under the Cypress tree See the moon rise over the river No place I'd rather be Can't stop life from racing by There's magic in the air tonight I remember every moment For the rest of my life Watching fireflies in west Texas Sittin' under the Cypress tree See the moon rise over the river No place I'd rather be And I might see a shooting star But I won't wish on them anymore And just you saying that you love me Is all I can ask for Watching fireflies in west Texas Sittin' under the Cypress trees See the moon rise over the river No place I'd rather be You and me and the fireflies Flying under the Cypress trees See the sun rise over the river No place I'd rather be See the sun rise over the river No place I'd rather be
