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'd traveled 'round 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 Tinker Bell And they were just fireflies to the untrained eye But I could always tell
I believe in fairy tales And dreamer's dreams Like bedsheet sails 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 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 Tinker Bell they were just fireflies to the untrained eye But I could always tell
I believe in fairy tales And dreamer's dreams Like bedsheet sails And I believe in Peter Pan And miracles, and anything I can to get by . . . And fireflies And fireflies . . .
