     What a wonderful song! Perfect for KTCC. In case anyone is interested, I found the lyrics:

     FIREFLIES
     by Lori McKenna

     Before you met me I was a fairy princess
     I caught frogs and called them prince
     and made myself a queen.
     Before you knew me I traveled around the world
     I slept in castles and fell in love
     because I was taught to dream.
     I found mayonnaise bottles
     and poked holes on top to capture Tinkerbell
     And they were just fireflies to the untrained eye
     but I could always tell.

     I believe in fairytales and dreamers’ dreams
     like bed-sheet-sails
     And I believe in Peter Pan
     And miracles and anything I can to get by…..
     and fireflies.

     Before I grew up I saw you on a cloud.
     I could bless myself in your name
     and pat you on your wings.
     Before I grew up I heard you whisper so loud
     “Life is hard, and so is love, child,
     Believe in all these things.”
     I found mayonnaise bottles
     and poked holes on top to capture Tinkerbell.
     And they were just fireflies to the untrained eye
     but I could always tell.

     I believe in fairytales and dreamers’ dreams
     like bed-sheet-sails
     And I believe in Peter Pan
     And miracles and anything I can to get by…..
     and fireflies.

     Before you met me I was a fairy princess
     I caught frogs and called them prince
     and made myself a queen.
     Before you knew me I traveled around the world
     I slept in castles and fell in love
     because I was taught to dream…..

       im6,
       If I could write a song, it would be much like this one. I still always clap for Tinkerbell.

       Thanks for posting the lyrics.

     I am glad that I was the one who gave you Lori McKenna. I started Coffee hoping something like that would happen over and over.
