Fly Butterfly, Fly lyrics

When you were only five, you caught a butterfly

You held it for a while, it made you smile, you caught a butterfly

Finally it flew away, you cried and cried that day

To see it fly so high, an eagle came and caught the butterfly

So don't fly too high in the sky, butterfly

If you fly very high in the sky you'll find the sun may burn your wings

And each song you hear, let it go in and out your ear

Don't be fooled by the beautiful songs the nightbirds sing

Your daddy loves you best, much more than all the rest

I've watched you grow to be a lady fair, you've been my butterfly

Learn to fly, butterfly, before you fly too high

An eagle waits for you, watch what you do, be careful, butterfly

And don't fly too high in the sky, butterfly

If you fly very high in the sky, you'll find the sun may burn your wings

And each song you hear, let it go in and out your ear

Don't be fooled by the beautiful songs the nightbirds sing
