The Butterfly Song

Butterfly - dance across the sky to me

Come and spend some time with me

I promise not to pin you down

Or even frown

If you have to fly away

Into someone else's dream

Come and spend some time with me

Linger just a little while – butterfly style

Before you flitter away

I used to think that butterflies were meant for catchin'

'Til the time I caught one in my net

Took it home and tried to make it happy

But the very next day (the very next day)

The next day it was dead

Butterfly I buried in the meadow

Where I'd found it flying so free

After that I learned my lesson

If you love a butterfly (if you love a butterfly)

If you love it let it be

If you love a butterfly (if you love a butterfly)

If you love a butterfly (if you love a butterfly)

If you love it let it be

Butterfly – glad to see you back again

Come and rest your wings my friend

I promise not to pin you down

Or even frown

If you have to fly away

Into someone else's dream

Come and spend some time with me

Linger just a little while – butterfly style

Before you flitter away

Before you flitter away

Before you flitter away

Before you flitter away
