She would dance like a firefly Like she was floating through the air A shining star in an endless sky She could sparkle anywhere And the young men came from far and near To offer flowers each in his turn And they would promise their undying devotion For her love in return And the first who stood before her Was a builder by his trade His back was strang his hands were gentle And he showed her the things he'd made I will build you a house in the valley Where the stream runs swiftly by And on the banks of the sweet primroses You and I will lie The next to make his declaration Was a young man of high renown Standing keen in expectation He would not be outdone I will give you gold and riches A diamond ring for your fair hand Every wish you crave will be granted And I will be at your command A wandering minstrel on his travels Chanced to pass along her way He sang her songs of sweet affection And with his charms he held her sway I have no house to offer you Nor money have I none But you will be my poetry And I will be your song And so it came they took a winding road And cast their cares upon the wind To see the days and sing the seasons And never asking what lay beyond Her jewels were the words he sang for her Her house a broad oak tree Her joy was but a simple dream That flowers when it's free And she can dance like a firefly And she's floating throught the air A shinning star in an endless sky She can sparkle anywhere Her jewels were the words he sang for her Her house a broad oak tree Her joy is but a simple dream That flowers now it's free
