Fireflies -original- Skyler Day

Here's a song about...
Love--what I hope to find someday.
Georgia--home sweet home.
Fireflies--one of the things I miss the most about Georgia, besides Sweet Tea and the woods!

*Fireflies*
In the summer of '99 Ryan caught my eye
No longer just the boy next door to me
Fireflies & pickle jars we'd run around in his backyard
Dirty knees & bare feet
He took my hand he took my heart
Underneath those Georgia stars
when he smiled at me & he...

chorus-
Got down on one knee
pulled out a plastic ring
from a Wal-Mart gumball machine
He said If my mom says it's ok
would you marry me someday..Oh pretty please
well the only ones who heard my answer that night
were the fireflies

At the lake when it got dark
he put his daddy's truck in park
& laid out on the dock with me
Fireflies replaced the stars my blanket was his arms
& love was in the air we breathed
He said to me Baby you're all I'll ever need
you're all that I want
Then he..

chorus-
Got down on one knee
pulled off his high school ring
& looked straight into me
He said If you say it's ok
Would you marry me someday.. Oh pretty please
Well the only ones who heard my answer that night
were the fireflies

Now I've got something old & something new
Something borrowed & something blue
white dress & a smile to hold the tears in place
my love right in front of me
not the little boy he used to be
but still my answer hasn't changed

chorus-
He takes my hand from me
pulls out a wedding ring
for the whole town to see
He says If you love me babe
Would you marry me today.. Oh pretty please
Well everybody hears my answer tonight
& the ones who are saying Girl it's just about time
are the fireflies

Skyler!

It's me Ryan Dawlrens! I'm so sad that things didn't work out the way we planned, we were young and naive but boy oh boy did we have a blast...

Please everyone, I know everyone always asks for upvotes but it'd really mean the world to me if Skyler see's this.
