Don't you remember that snowy December
When we went to see "Singing in the Rain"?
I shouldn't have smuggled in that bottle of gin
Because after the film, I could barely walk
But, darling don't you know it's only human
To want to kill a beautiful thing
When I was seven summer lasted forever
I used to chase fire flies through the woods
Tiny green lights circling warm August nights
I'd catch them inside a washed-out old jar
I dreamed of the stars with the jar by my bed
But each morning my pretty bugs were dead
We should have been dancing like lovers in a movie
But I fell and cut my head in the snow
I wanted to tell you all the ways that I loved you
But instead I got sick on the train.
