Butterfly Lyrics

It was late on summer evening When I saw that butterfly On it's wings were every colour you could find And I held it for a moment Then I let if fly away Soon it disappeared and left me far behind And in my imagination I was fleating 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, 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 worthwhile There were tulip fields in Holland And the roses in Versailles And the English country garden in the sun Edelweiß and bright red popples Loveley 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 Butterfly
