Lyrics
Chorus
Love is like a firefly that glimmers by
And dies while it is gleaming
Therefore when you see it nigh
You must be very spry, ever sly, never shy
When within her twinkling eye
You see the tender lovelight brightly beaming
Fortune try! embrace her while you may
Or she will say, “Goodbye”
