Lyrics
Butterfly
words and music by Baird Brittingham
Come with me and you will see
And on her wings we're gonna fly
Set her free of things inside
And you will see a butterfly
Hearts overflowing, tears of jasmine shine
Sail off to a sunset, and all the love inside
Come into my world of pain
Would you dry up all the rain
One night here and when it's time
There will be you my butterfly
Hearts overflowing, tears of jasmine shine
Sail off to a sunset and all the love inside
Wish I could take back all the time
One more chance if you would try
It's my heart been broken too
When you're gone my butterfly
Heart's overflowing, tears of jasmine shine
Sail off to a sunset, and all the love inside
Spread your wings to gently fly
As I sing this lullaby
And if a kiss may seem too much
How I miss your gentle touch
Hearts overflowing, tears of jasmine shine
Sail off to a sunset, and all the love inside
Come into this house of pain
And I pray that you'll remain
True to the one that's meant for you
And let your love come shining through
Hearts overflowing, tears of jasmine shine
Sail off to a sunset, and all the love inside
Come with me and you will see
and on her wings we're gonna fly
Set her free of things inside
You and me we'll be that butterfly
