Last November - Firefly

you watch your mom and dad
as they grow old
teach you all the things that they
think you outta know

well you learn to talk and walk and read
answer the phone
before you know it your moving out
all on your own


you thank god everyday you learned to tie your shoes
and maybe there's a better way
but you say this way'll do

the hardest things you have to learn
you gotta find out on your own
a broken heart is an empty jar
where a firefly had once flown
a-oh oh oh oh, ooooooooh.
a-oh oh oh oh, ooooooooh.

now you watch your boy and girl
as they both grow up
you try to teach them whatcha know
and you pray thats enough

well they learn to walk and talk and read
answer the phone
before you know it they've got a family
that's all their own

you can still remember when you taught them to tie their shoes
maybe there's a better way
but that's how your folks taught you

the hardest things they have to learn
they gotta find out on their own
a broken heart is an empty jar
where a firefly had once flown
you know a a broken heart is an empty jar
where a firefly had once flown
a broken heart
is an empty jar
where a firefly had once flown
a-oh oh oh oh, ooooooooh.
a-oh oh oh oh, ooooooooh.
