Lyrics
[Chorus]
Love is like a butterfly, as soft and gentle as a sigh
The multicolored moods of love are like its satin wings
Love makes your heart feel strange inside, it flutters like soft wings in flight
Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing
[Verse 1]
I feel it when you're with me, it happens when you kiss me
That rare and gentle feeling that I feel inside
Your touch is soft and gentle, your kiss is warm and tender
Whenever I am with you I think of butterflies
[Chorus]
Love is like a butterfly, as soft and gentle as a sigh
The multicolored moods of love are like its satin wings
Love makes your heart feel strange inside, it flutters like soft wings in flight
Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing
[Verse 2]
Your laughter brings me sunshine, every day is springtime
And I am only happy when you are by my side
How precious is this love we share, how very precious, sweet and rare
Together we belong like daffodils and butterflies
[Chorus]
Love is like a butterfly, as soft and gentle as a sigh
The multicolored moods of love are like its satin wings
Love makes your heart feel strange inside, it flutters like soft wings in flight
Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing
[Outro]
Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing
