    You would not believe your eyes
    If ten million fireflies
    Lit up the world as I fell asleep
    'Cause they fill the open air
    And leave teardrops everywhere
    You'd think me rude but I would just stand and stare
    I'd like to make myself believe that planet Earth turns slowly
    It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
    'Cause everything is never as it seems
    'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
    From ten thousand lightning bugs
    As they tried to teach me how to dance
    A foxtrot above my head
    A sock hop beneath my bed
    A disco ball is just hanging by a thread (thread, thread)
    I'd like to make myself believe that planet Earth turns slowly
    It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
    'Cause everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)
    Leave my door open just a crack
    Please take me away from here
    'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
    Please take me away from here
    Why do I tire of counting sheep?
    Please take me away from here
    When I'm far too tired to fall asleep
    To ten million fireflies
    I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
    I got misty eyes as they said, "Farewell" (they said farewell)
    But I'll know where several are
    If my dreams get real bizarre
    'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar (jar, jar, jar)
    I'd like to make myself believe that planet Earth turns slowly
    It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
    'Cause everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)
    I'd like to make myself believe that planet Earth turns slowly

      @@kingblob3710 The real reason singers became world wide pop stars and his solo career blow up was because of the freemasonry hand signs he show`d again and again. The 2 popular hand signs M J used often were 666 and devil horns.
      In most cases the singer shows at least 4 hand signs and these are:
      666
      devil horns
      one eye
      tongue showing aka mocking.
      The talent may be there, but the hand signs must be there. Thats how a soul becomes a “rich and famous” singer or actor.
