Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Green fields where we used to wander
Purple valleys near my home
We would play there, beneath the sky
Then I kissed you, butterfly
[Verse 2]
Young girl, you came restless
And you left me here to drown
My big teardrops, in red pastures
For I loved you, butterfly
[Verse 3]
Butterfly, yeah
I dream about you, lonely without you, butterfly
Butterfly, yeah
Each night, I'm sleeping, your face goes creeping, butterfly
[Verse 4]
Green fields where we used to wander
Purple valleys near my home
We would play there, beneath the sky
For I loved you, butterfly
[Verse 5]
Butterfly, yeah
I dream about you, lonely without you, butterfly
Butterfly, yeah
Each night, I'm sleeping, your face goes creeping, butterfly
Butterfly
