Don't get surprised
Don't you realize
Nothing's meant to last
Can't you tell I'm coming back again
And my love has gone too fast
If your heart is going to crack
And fall apart like that
Did you ever guess
I'd want to keep this mess
No, you can't have it back
See me shimmer in the night
Like a firefly burning bright
Shimmer baby shimmer
For your love
Well, I say
There's one born every day
But you think it doesn't pay
To treat you in that way
So you laugh it off
And turn away
Try to make the most of it
I see you'll never appreciate
The truth that is in it
See me shimmer in the night
Like a firefly burning bright
Shimmer baby shimmer
For your love
See me shimmer in the night
Like a firefly burning bright
Shimmer baby shimmer
For your love
On a night that's made for love
I look up to the stars above
There's one they say for everyone
That comes out when the day has gone
But there'll never be a star for you
'Cause of what you put me through
No there'll never be a star for you
'Cause God knows what you put me through
See me shimmer in the night
Like a firefly burning bright
Shimmer baby shimmer
For your love
See me shimmer in the night
Like a firefly burning bright
Shimmer baby shimmer
For your love
For your love
