Fireflies by Sharon Knight
A song about friendship's ability to endure through periods of separation. Written at the beginning of the pandemic. A little different than our usual fare. No sailors were harmed in the making of this song!

Lyrics
Do you remember summertime
A gentle breeze blowing leaves in our wine
We laughed on the porch until the sun sank low
Not a care in the world, you know
Even when we are apart
I can feel you in my heart
You make me stronger
There is nothing you can say
To make me go my separate way
For long
We are Fireflies
Together we shine, together we rise
We are Fireflies
Forever entwined, lighting up the skies
With starlight glimmering in our eyes
Ohh ohh ohh… we’re fireflies
Sometimes I like to sit and dream awhile
Thinking of your Incandescent smile
Knowing you are there, I know we’ll make it through
There’s no better time than me and you
If you’re afraid your fire is dying
And you’ve lost the will for flying
I’ve got your hand
When your color fades to gray
And you’re not sure what to say
You know I’ll understand
We are Fireflies
Together we shine, together we rise
We are Fireflies
Forever entwined, lighting up the skies
With starlight glimmering in our eyes
Ohh ohh ohh… we’re fireflies
