Lyrics

You said when you died
You wanted to come back as a butterfly.
Now everytime I see one I think of you,

The prettier they are
The more I'm sure of where you are,
And that you're living
The good life.

Chorus:

We never know who'll be there to meet us
At that old garden gate.
I only hope that when my times comes you'll greet me
and that I won't have to wait.

Verse II

You said when you died
You wanted to come back as a butterfly
Yes, I understand the pain that you've been through.
I know why you wanted your freedom and the wings to fly
Unecumbered, free-flyin'

Chorus:

We never know who'll be there to meet us
At that old garden gate.
I only hope that when my times comes you'll greet me
and that I won't have to wait.

Verse III

Butterfly, you're a sight for my sore eyes
And these tears I've been cryin' soon will dry
Send my love to the one ho dwells above
And assure her, I'l be fine.
