Butterfly, my butterfly

Though I know you must be free

Butterfly, don't flutter by

Stay a little while with me

You're as light as a night full of moon

Butterfly, you have left your cocoon

You have found you have wings

And now you wish to fly

Please don't go

Please don't say goodbye

Butterfly, my butterfly

Though I know you must be free

Butterfly, don't flutter by

Stay a little while with me

In your mind there

Is someone far away

And you'll miss all

The fun if you stay

You believe that love

Is elsewhere to be found

But your wrong

It's here just look around

Butterfly, my butterfly

Though I know you must be free

Butterfly, don't flutter by

Stay a little while with me

Look around, look

Around and you'll see

Better love than my need won't be

And if you fly away

You'll break my heart in two

Please don't go

I'm so in love with you

Butterfly, my butterfly

Though I know you must be free

Butterfly, don't flutter by

Stay a little while with me
