Lyric

One little light and then a few

Blinking slow the way they do

Screen door shut, the grass gone blue

Summer doing what it does

The day undid itself somehow

And nothing's left to carry now

He gives His loved ones rest and sleep

Nothing's mine to have to keep

Firefly, little lantern light

Take the last of me tonight

Everything can wait till day

Let the evening have its way

I counted things I couldn't fix

Then I stopped and watched them lift

Small and gold across the lawn

And half of my worry was gone

Firefly, little lantern light

Take the last of me tonight

Everything can wait till day

Let the evening have its way

The dark's not empty, not tonight

It's full of small and gentle light

Firefly, little lantern light

Take the last of me tonight

Everything can wait till day

Let the evening have its way

One little light and then a few

Blinking slow the way they do
