She flutters by Catching every eye Dancing in the light What a sight Pretty butterfly
Always just a little out of your reach A wispy kind of a creature That you want to possess But who can guess Just when her mood will change And she’ll spread her wings And be gone again Leaving you an ache in your heart And an awful yearn
Just to hold her one time Close in your arms Discover all of her charms But she is such a windmill If she would only stand still
Someday you’ll see She will look at me Showing in her eye Butterfly curiosity That’s when I will slowly Lower my neck And she will probably let me Catch her The pretty butterfly
Someday you’ll see She will look at me Showing in her eye Butterfly curiosity That’s when I will slowly Lower my neck And she will probably let me Catch her The pretty butterfly The pretty butterfly The pretty butterfly
