The Roman Colosseum and that clock Big Ben
See ‘em in the movies every now and then
And I’d like to go there someday but I know
I’ve got my share of wonders here just right at home

Like sparklers on the lawn on the Fourth of July
Ice cream meltin’ on a hot slice of peach pie
A barefoot boy with a homemade kite
Jelly jar full of fireflies
A shootin’ star on a summer night
A big yellow moon over me holdin’ you so tight
Such a sweet sight

I love that famous photo of the Earth from outer space
Not as much as seein’ a child’s smilin’ face
Ridin’ high up on a merry-go-round
Another little miracle here on solid ground

If I never make it to the Taj Mahal
The Pyramids, the Great China Wall
Come the day when I receive St. Peter’s call
I won’t have missed anything at all

A jelly jar full of fireflies
A shootin’ star on a summer night
Big yellow moon over me holdin’ you so tight
Such a sweet sight

A jelly jar full of fireflies
A shootin’ star on a summer night
Big yellow moon over me holdin’ you so tight
Such a sweet sight
Hum, such a sweet sight
