Lyrics
Verse 1:
Dragonfly, passing by
Enjoying life gliding through the sky
Chasing flies at midday
Hovering over water 'til he sees his prey
Then he moves on
Verse 2:
Dragonfly, elegant and bold
Unlike some other insects his wings don't fold
Red and blue, beauty to behold
Perched on a petal of a marigold
Then he moves on
Verse 3:
Dragonfly, quiet and still
Resting on a leaf of a daffodil
He takes time to sit and think
He flies onto a birdbath to have a drink
Then he moves on
Verse 4:
Dragonfly, pretty and bright
Sunshine on his wings - such a beautiful sight
Dragonfly, pure delight
Visiting my garden 'til the fading twilight
Then he moves on
