Le site français de Faith Hill - Paroles (Fireflies)

We’ve got bare foot ladies
and tricked out Mercedes
People getting crazy on the boulevard
We’ve got classic colas
and ice cold corona’s
and big pool parties in the back yard

I said

“heyyyyy, that’s the way we do it”
new friends and blue skies that never end.
“Heyyyyy, that’s the way we like it”
Good times, sunshine and summertime.

You’ll see straw sombreros
and t-top camero’s
Stereo’s blasting in the parking lot.
You’ll see rock hard bodies
and bikini hotties
and everybody’s got it goin’ on,
and showing what they got.

“Heyyyyy, that’s the way we do it.”
New friends and blue skies that never end.
“Heyyyyy that’s the way we like it”
Good times, sunshine and summertime.

I said “Hey everybody, can’t you feel the rhythm?”
“Now, hey everybody, don’t you want to party?”
“Hey everybody, can’t you feel the rhythm now?”
“Hey everybody, don’t you want to party?”

“heyyyyy, that’s the way we do it”
new friends and blue skies that never end.
“Heyyyyyy that’s the way we like it”
Good times, sunshine and summertime.

“heyyyyy, that’s the way we do it”
new friends and blue skies that never end.
“Heyyyyyy that’s the way we like it”
Good times, sunshine and summertime.

Good times, sunshine and summertime
Good times, sunshine and summertime

Mississippi Girl
Written by John Rich & Adam Shoenfeld

Well it's a long way from Star, Mississippi
To the big stage i'm singing on tonight
And sometimes the butterflies still get me
When I'm in the spotlight

And some people seem to think that I've changed
That I'm different than I was back then
But in my soul I know that I'm the same way
That I really always been

Chorus
Cause a Mississippi girl don't change her ways
Just cause everybody knows her name
Ain't big-headed from a little bit of fame
I still like wearing my old ball cap
Ride my kids around piggy back
They might know me all around the world
But y'all I'm still a Mississippi girl

Well I spent a few weeks in California
They put my face on the big movie screen
But that don't mean I've forgotten where I came from
That's just me chasing dreams, yeah

Chorus

Cause a Mississippi girl don't change her ways
Just cause everybody knows her name
Ain't big headed from a little bit of fame
I still like wearing my old ball cap
Ride my kids around piggy back
They might know me all around the world
But y'all I'm still a Mississippi girl

Mississippi girl
oohh
Mississippi girl
Mississippi girl
yeah yeah
oo ohh

Mississippi girl

Dearly Beloved
Written by Giorgia Middleman & Fred wilhem

Good morning, dearly beloved
we are gathered here today
to watch two people we know
make a big mistake.
They’ll stand up at the altar
and solemnly swear; “I do”
They’ll be together forever
’till they find somebody new.
Her daddy’s in the front row
muttering, “oh no,
here we go again.
They had a couple dates,
now she’s three months late.
And it’s twenty bucks a plate I spent, oh”
Good morning,
dearly beloved,
I’d like to welcome ya’ll
to see the side effects
of sex and alcohol.
Please bow your heads and join me
in a prayer for these two
who’ll be together forever
’till they find somebody new.
The bride is a flirt,
and the groom is much worse.
As he’s putting the ring on her,
he’s checking out the bridesmaids
thinking that he might take
the maid of honours honour, oh,
welcome, dearly beloved,
we are here this afternoon
to throw rice as these two
drive down the road to ruin
with cans tied to the bumper
and a draggin’ muffler too
they’ll be forever together
’till they find somebody new.
So raise your hand and join me,
here’s to the bride and groom
they’ll be together forever
’Till they find somebody new

I Ain't Gonna Take It Anymore
Written by Kevin Brandt & Bobby Terry

You’ve worn the soles of both your shoes
walkin’ on me like ya do.
This ain’t what forever’s for,
and I ain’t gonna take it,
I ain’t gonna take it anymore.
I’ve cried and begged and cursed and prayed
but nothing’s worked, nothing’s changed.
No way I win when you keep score,
and I ain’t gonna take it,
I ain’t gunna take it anymore.

Chorus
I’m gunna crawl out from this stone
that I’ve been under
to see the light and breathe the air
and you’ll have a million reasons why
I shouldn’t leave you.
but for the first time in a long time,
I don’t care.

I guess on one hand you should laugh
’cause I’ve said the same things in the past
but this time one hand’s on the door
and I ain’t gunna take it,
I ain’t gunna take it anymore.

Chorus

Now I can’t help but think of you
lookin’ back in my rear view
but I’ve been down that road before
and I ain’t gonna take it,
I ain’t gonna take it anymore.
I ain’t gonna take it,
I ain’t gonna take it anymore

Stealing Kisses
Written by Lori McKenna

“It’s late enough,
all your kids should be home.”
The policeman says
as he takes your beer for his own.
You remember,
wondering what his wife thought
about his occupation
He knows that you were just chasing a dream
to the town line and back and over again
So he winks at your girls
and tells you all “I’ll see you later”

I was stealing kisses from a boy
now I’m begging affection from a man
in my house dress,
don’t you know who I am,
don’t you know who I am.
Standing in your kitchen.

It’s late enough,
your husband’s dinner is cold,
so you wrap it up and leave it for him on the stove.
It’s probably the traffic again.
Another important meeting.
You haven’t talked to an adult all day,
’cept for your neighbor who drives you crazy.
When he finally gets in,
he’s sure not in the mood for talkin’.

I was stealing kisses from a boy
now I’m begging affection from a man
in my house dress,
don’t you know who I am,
don’t you know who I am.
I’m standing in your kitchen.

And hours become days,
days become years.
And you could burn down this town
if they made matches from fear.
Cause you’re no worse off than anybody else.
hey, don’t you even know,
don’t you even know yourself?

So you’re standing outside your high school doors.
The ones you walked through 20 years before,
and you whisper to all the girls:
“run, run, oh, run”

I was stealing kisses from a boy
now I’m begging affection from a man
in my house dress,
don’t you know who I am,
don’t you know who I am.
Take a look at who I am
Take a look at who I am.
I’m stealing kisses.
Stealing kisses

Fireflies
Written by Lori McKenna

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
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

Like We Never Loved At All
Written by John Rich, Scot Sax & Vicky McGehee

You never looked so good
as you did last night,
underneath the city lights,
there walking with your friend,
laughing at the moon.
I swear you looked right through me.
But I’m still living with your goodbye,
and you’re just going on with your life.

How can you just walk on by
without one tear in your eye?
Don’t you have the slightest feelings left for me?
Maybe that’s just your way
of dealing with the pain,
forgetting everything
between our rise and fall
like we never loved at all.

You, I hear you’re doing fine.
Seems like you’re doing well
as far as I can tell.
Time is leaving us behind,
(time – leaving us behind)
another week has passed
and still I haven’t laughed yet.
So tell me, what your secret is
(I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know)
to letting go, letting go like you did,
like you did.

How can you just walk on by
without one tear in your eye?
Don’t you have the slightest feelings left for me?
Maybe that’s just your way
of dealing with the pain,
forgetting everything
between our rise and fall
like we never loved at all.

Did you forget the magic?
Did you forget the passion?
Oh, and did you ever miss me,
and long to kiss me?
Oh baby, baby.

Maybe that’s just your way
of dealing with the pain,
forgetting everything
between our rise and fall
like we never loved at all

I Want You
Written by Rivers Rutherford & Bobby Tomberlin

The eagle wants a canyon
and a place where he can rest
his wings a while.
The drifter wants a freight train
that will carry him another hundred miles.
That lion’s only looking for something’
he can sink his teeth into.
Oh and I want you.
The devil wants a fella
with a weakness he can wrap
his arms around.
The champion wants a challenger
who just might have the strength to
take him down.
The river wants an ocean to run towards
and pour its heart into.
Oh and I want you.
Oh and I want you.
Oh, every time that I’m around you
oh, I’m on fire when we touch.
Oh, when I hold you boy you know
I can’t get close enough.
Yes I want you.
I could cry and say I need you
Tell you that I die when you’re not here
I could lie and say I love you
pour a little poison in your ear
but all I’m gonna give you is
nothing but the bare and naked truth.
Baby I want you.
Baby I want you

The Lucky One
Written by Brett Warren, Brad Warren & Jay Joyce

So hot outside all I can wear
is these cut off overalls
and these sandals on my feet.
But I emptied my pockets for a bus ticket
so I could sit there on a broken seat
I got no place I should go
I got no worries you know
Second or seventh street,
it doesn’t matter to me.

Chorus
’cause you’re mine
that’s all I need to know
the sunshine’s everywhere we go
it’s so right ‘cause I’ve got you to hold
every night yeah
I’m the lucky one.
I’m the lucky one.

Well I pulled back down to
my upstreet apartment
and the air never works in that old place
twenty-seven and I thought I’d
be further along
than just this rented space.
I got no papers to read
I got no cable TV
and I got no places to be
I got no people to meet

Chorus

I’m on a roll
when I’m with you
don’t stop me now
I just can’t lose

Chorus

If You Ask
Written by Lori McKenna

Well I’ve come to know the look
on your face
when you’re lying about where you’ve been
and how much you spent
I know when you will raise your fingers
to your mouth as if to wipe away the shame
it’s not a game, I know you feel bad.

Chorus
if you ask for my forgiveness
if you call my name I will come
if you ask for my love I will give you some

someday I know you’ll understand
someday you’ll finally realize
what you’re doing to yourself

chorus:
if you ask for my forgiveness
if you call my name I will come
if you ask for my love I will give you some

we’ve been dancing to
that same old song over and over again
I want to be your lover
I don’t want to be your policeman
so tonight when you finally make
your way back to our door
I’ll let you sleep it off like I did
the night before
when you ask for my forgiveness
when you call my name I will come
when you ask for my love I will give you some
in the morning I will get you up and
I will smile just when you want me to
’cause I’m, I’m all you have

You Stay With Me
Written by John Kennedy & Andrea Stolpe

Tv flashes down the hall
Painting pictures on the wall
And you're still sleeping on my knees
And in the glow of silver light
I trace the lines above your eyes
Just another wrinkle that you can blame on me

But i can hear the current of the freeway in the distance
If i keep listening
And i wonder if you ever thought of streaming off
Somewhere with it
Am i not what you thought
Will you get tired of what you got

Chorus
If i can't give you anymore
Than weathered ships and distant shores
Would you still be my compass
'cause you keep loving me the same
I don't know how but you still stay with me, baby
You stay with me, baby

Another day, another week
We'll slip back in old routines
'til nights like these come in between
Simple moments in the dark
Ones that life can't tear apart
They come along just when we need

And i still hear the current of the freeway in the distance
But i stop listening
'cause i know you'll stay even though the waves are always shifting

We're fighting our way through
I guess i always knew

Wish For You
Written by Craig Wiseman & Darrell Brown

A setting sun that paints a tie-dyed sky
A feather bed, an ancient lullaby
A kiss good night from one whose love is true
That's the kind of day i wish for you

A field of flowers dancing in the spring
A little creek, a tree, an old rope swing
Cotton candy clouds against the blue
That's the kind of day i wish for you

First love with all its storm
Raging like fire within
Tossing your heart to chance
You swear the dance will never end

But then it does and someone says goodbye
And after all those empty nights you cried
The morning that you wake up good as new
That's the kind of day i wish for you

The faith of knowing deep inside your heart
That heaven holds more than just some stars
Someone's up there watching over you
That's the kind of day i wish for you

Paris
Written by Blair Daly, Geordie Sampson & Troy Verges

The train pulled into paris like a rocket to the moon
The station's like a circus every face is a cartoon
Everybody's stoned on pride and drunk on cheap champagne
Tonight this joie de vivre sure don't live up to its name
And now all that i can say

Chorus
Is i'd give this world to you
Every rock and every stone every masterpiece in rome
And if you asked me to
I'd steel the mona lisa, tear it up in little pieces
And lay them at your feet
For all the world to see
But tonight i can't give you paris

Aristocrats are everywhere
And the air's as thick as thieves
She'd like nothing better than to steal the breathe from me
The tower's lights ain't shinin' as it hangs its head in shame
At the sight of american blood on the streets of st. germain
Washin' up into the seine

Chorus

And i'd give this world to you
I'd steal the crown and kingdom from the queen of england
And if you asked me to
I'd take this city in my hands, break it down in grains of sand
And lay them at your feet
For all the world to see
But tonight i can't give you paris
