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, 'fore you flitter away

I used to think that butterflies were meant for catching

Till 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, 'fore you flitter away

'Fore you flitter away, 'fore you flitter away, 'fore you flitter away
