Lyrics

Love is like a firefly
On a cool Virginia starlit night
Dancin’ light round a honeysuckle vine
Two hearts and hands are joined for life
A young man’s dreams come true tonight
A tender touch, a kiss and watch the fire fly

Just turned eighteen and nothing’s gonna stop them
Headed out to see the world and touch the sky
Gonna live the life they dreamed of back in high school
With a touch of luck and hot dogs they’ll survive

Love is like a firefly
On a cool Virginia starlit night
Dancin’ light round a honeysuckle vine
Two hearts and hands are joined for life
A young man’s dreams come true tonight
A tender touch, a kiss and watch the fire fly

Never spent a day not thinking about each other
Never spent a night not talking until dawn
When the winds of change blow hard, they cling together
In that warm embrace, the trials of life are gone

Love is like a firefly
On a cool Virginia starlit night
Dancin’ light round a honeysuckle vine
Two hearts and hands are joined for life
A young man’s dreams come true tonight
A tender touch, a kiss and watch the fire fly

When they measure out the life they’ve lived
And there’s nothing left on earth to give
The candle of their love is burning dim
Surely they will find a way
To journey back to that first day
And live it all together once again

Cause love is like a firefly
On a cool Virginia starlit night
Dancin’ light round a honeysuckle vine
Two hearts and hands are joined for life
A young man’s dreams come true tonight
A tender touch, a kiss and watch the fire fly
Just watch the fire fly
Just watch the fire fly
Just watch the fire fly
