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 Used to think 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
