Before you met me I was a fairy princess I caught frogs and called them prince And made myself a queen Before you knew me I traveled 'round the world 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 tinkerbell They were just fireflies to the untrained eye But I could always tell
[Chorus] I believe in fairytales and dreamers dreams like bed sheet sails And I believe in peter pan and miracles And anything I can to get by And fireflies
Before I grew up I saw you on a cloud I could bless myself in your name and pat you on your wings Before I grew up I heard you whisper so loud "life is hard, and so is love, child, believe in all these things" I found mayonnaise bottles and poked holes on top To capture tinkerbell And they were just fireflies to the untrained eye But i could always tell
[Chorus]
Before you met me I was a fairy princess I caught frogs and called them prince And made myself a queen Before you knew me I traveled 'round the world And I slept in castles and fell in love Because I was taught to dream
