I’m Like A Firefly
© Stan Loh June 5, 2012
I’m like a firefly trapped in a jar,
And my light’s about to go,
I’m like a child gone too far,
I find it hard to glow.
Can I keep on shining?
This light’s about to fade,
A shadow is looming,
Over the dark side instead.
There’re times I tried to reach you,
But end in self-defeat,
The glass between you and me,
A curtain that cannot break,
If you are my fix, then darling … I need a fix…
Cause I love you.
My light can’t say goodbye, after all these years,
Your flame is part of me,
Oh you switch me on with your smile,
Darling, what will I be?
My light knows no darkness,
No twilight emptiness,
Eversince we tied the knot,
Those vows I ain’t forgot,
Please don’t flame me out,
Don’t douse my light throughout,
I beg of you to give me a chance,
For love to soon rebuild,
Cause you’ve been my fix, oh darling … I need a fix…
Cause I love you … I love you…I love you.
Can I keep on shining?
This light’s about to fade,
A shadow is looming,
Over the dark side instead.
There’re times I tried to reach you,
But end in self-defeat,
This glass between you and me,
A curtain that cannot break,
If you are my fix, then darling … I need a fix…
Cause I love you…I love you…I love you
