Lyrics Petula Clark

Petula Clark

Elusive Butterfly

You might wake up some mornin'

To the sound of something moving past your window in the

wind

And if you're quick enough to rise,

You'll catch the fleeting glimpse of someone's fading

shadow

Don't be concerned, it will not harm you

It's only me pursuing something I'm not sure of

Across my dream with nets of wonder

I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love

Out on the new horizon,

You may see the floating motion of a distant pair of

wings

And if the sleep has left your ears,

You might hear footsteps running through an open meadow

Don't be concerned, it will not harm you

It's only me pursuing something I'm not sure of

Across my dream with nets of wonder

I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love
