Gaze into the dawns light
watching those fireflies
and August was so kind
she's sitting on my mind
maybe one day I'll see
if August just waits for me

[chorus]

she can be my sunshine
and I can be myself
she can be all I want
oh August
how'd you know me so well?
how'd you know me so well?

maybe my new pains
are filling my passing days
we were younger then
time tends to make us change
I'll take any road I may
and I would spend all my days
just to see her

[chorus]

she can be my sunshine
and I can be myself
she can be all I want
now August
how'd you know me so well?
how'd you know me so well?

she can be my sunshine
and I can be her moonlight
and I remember bright nights
August and I and fireflies

just August and I and fireflies
