Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Precious day
Lights your way
Rest your wings
Stay awhile
You're the sun
In my sky
Butterfly
[Verse 2]
You don't know the peace you bring
You show me the secrets and the ways
To love every moment of the day
And flowers you kiss all come to life
[Verse 3]
Soaring wings
Rainbow waves
Touch my mind
Be so fine
When you're gone
People cry
Butterfly
[Verse 4]
Precious day
Lights your way
Rest your wings
Stay awhile
You're the sun
In my sky
Butterfly
[Verse 5]
You don't know the peace you bring
You show me the secrets and the ways
To love every moment of the day
And flowers you kiss all come to life
To give all the love we knew
To see all the light that we can see
And teach all our children not to lie
And maybe one day we'll fly
To give all the love we knew
To see all the light that we can see
And teach all our children not to lie
And maybe one day we'll fly
