  • Before you met me I was a fairy princess
    I caught frogs and called them prince
    And made myself a queen
    And before you knew me I'd traveled 'round the world
    And I slept in castles
    And fell in love
    Because I was taught to dream

    I found mayonnaise bottles and poked holes on top
    To capture Tinker Bell
    And they were just fireflies to the untrained eye
    But I could always tell

    'Cause I believe in fairy tales
    And dreamer's dreams
    Like bedsheet sails
    And I believe in Peter Pan
    And miracles, anything I can to get by
    And fireflies

    Now before I grew up I saw you on a cloud
    And I could bless myself in your name
    And pat you on your wings
    And before I grew up I heard you whisper so loud
    Well life is hard and so is love
    Child, believe in all these things

    I found mayonnaise bottles and poked holes on top
    To capture Tinker Bell
    And they were just fireflies to the untrained eye
    But I could always tell

    'Cause I believe in fairy tales
    And dreamer's dreams
    Like bedsheet sails
    And I believe in Peter Pan
    And miracles, anything I can to get by...
    And fireflies...

    Before you met me I was a fairy princess
    I caught frogs and called them prince
    And made myself a queen
    And before you knew me I'd traveled 'round the world
    And I slept in castles
    And fell in love
    Because I was taught to dream Writer/s: ALEJANDRO M. LINARES, ALEJANDRO MARTINEZ LINARES, DEREK DOHERTY, MARC EDWIN ALLEN, NATHAN BARCALOW, RANDY STROHMEYER
