In a summer folly
I thought I might get lucky
You’ve been buzzing round and round my head
I got your little smile
But only for a while
Before the sun turns red
Mayfly won’t you stay a little longer
You’ve opened up my eyes now I can see
Daylight gives you all the rainbow colours
But on this night won’t you shine bright for me
I know that you’ve been hurting
Cause now you’re only flirting
You don’t easily give your heart away
But I don’t want to hear that
I just want to feel that
You’ll love again someday
Mayfly won’t you stay a little longer
You’ve opened up my eyes now I can see
Daylight gives you all the rainbow colours
But on this night won’t you shine bright for me
You say you got to fly now
But if you’d only try now
You can one day come back down to land
Maybe you’re the mayfly
That isn’t just a dayfly
So come and take my hand
Mayfly won’t you stay a little longer
You’ve opened up my eyes now I can see
Daylight gives you all the rainbow colours
But on this night won’t you shine bright for me
But on this night won’t you shine bright for me
