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 Before you flitter away I used to think that butterflies were meant for catchin' 'Til 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 Before you flitter away Before you flitter away Before you flitter away Before you flitter away
