It was late one summer evening when I saw that butterfly
|
On its wings were every colour you could find
|
And I held it for a moment then I let it fly away
|
Soon it disappeared and left me far behind
|
|
And in my imagination, I was floating on the breeze
|
Drifting over every mountain, sea and land
|
And with no one there to stop me
|
Every dream was coming true
|
People walking side by side, and hand in hand
|
|
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly
|
Spread your wings, like a bird, flying high
|
Set your sail, ride the wind take the news around the world
|
Bringing love and happiness eternally
|
|
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly
|
Fly away, like a star in the sky
|
Carry hope, carry faith into every lonely heart
|
Teach the world to live in peace and harmony
|
|
In a dream I saw it flying to a far and distant shore
|
Where the people stood and watched it with a smile
|
Soon the quarreling was over
|
There was peace throughout the land
|
Making all the days of travelling seem worth while
|
|
There were tulip fields in holland
|
And the roses in versailles
|
And the english country garden in the sun
|
|
Edelweiss and bright red popples
|
Lovely blue forget-me-nots
|
Growing tall and proud, and shared by everyone
|
|
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly
|
Spread your wings, like a bird, flying high
|
Set your sail, ride the wind take the news around the world
|
Bringing love and happiness eternally
|
|
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly
|
Fly away, like a star in the sky
|
Carry hope, carry faith into every lonely heart
|
Teach the world to live in peace and harmony
|
|
Now and then there is danger all around
|
Thunder strikes and lightning hits the ground
|
But my friend shakes his wings and carries on
|
Through the rain to the sun
|
|
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly
|
Spread your wings, like a bird, flying high
|
Set your sail, ride the wind take the news around the world
|
Bringing love and happiness eternally
|
|
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly
|
Fly away, like a star in the sky
|
Carry hope, carry faith into every lonely heart
|
Teach the world to live in peace and harmony
|
|
And I wish that I could be up there with you and fly so free
|
In the sky, butterfly
|
