Fireflies in a Mason Jar

Verse 1

Grandpa's porch and a summer storm gone by

We chased little lanterns through the grass so high

You caught one, I caught two

Poked holes in the lid like he told us to

Chorus

Fireflies in a mason jar

We kept a little piece of every star

We let 'em go before the morning came

But the light stayed in us all the same

Fireflies in a mason jar

Verse 2

Now you've got a daughter with your same blue eyes

She's running through the yard under August skies

She handed me a jar and she asked me how

I said, "Let me show you, it's your turn now"

Chorus

Fireflies in a mason jar

We kept a little piece of every star

We let 'em go before the morning came

But the light stayed in us all the same

Fireflies in a mason jar

Bridge

Some things you hold

Some things you free

That's what grandpa taught me

Chorus

Fireflies in a mason jar

We kept a little piece of every star

We let 'em go before the morning came

But the light stayed in us all the same

Fireflies in a mason jar
