Firefly
Firefly
I heard your voice this morning
When I called you on the phone
And when we finished talking
I was all by myself but not alone
I felt your presence with me
Just as I was by your side
And I felt a sense of certainty
Some hunger in me finally satisfied
Chorus: So far and yet so near to me
So far and yet so near
Like a star that can appear to be
A firefly dancing in the air
You are dancing there
So far and yet so near
So I sat out on the back porch
And I laughed into the breeze
And hummingbirds sailed past my ears
And skimmed off like wishes through the trees
And the morning sun, surprising strong
I had to fetch my hat
So bright and warm and powerful
Our early love it feels a lot like that (Chorus)
Distance, waiting, memory
I am making these my friends
How can I be impatient
When love has no beginning and no end?
In a few short days I’ll see you
In a place quite far away
But I am just as close to you
Sitting on this sunny porch today
Chorus: So far and yet so near to me
So far and yet so near
Like a star that can appear to be
A firefly dancing in the air
You are dancing there
So far and yet so near
So far and yet so near
