Butterfly Fly Away

You tucked me in, turned off the lights

Kept me safe and sound at night.

Little girls depend on things like that.

Brushed my teeth and combed my hair,

had to drive me everywhere.

You were always there when I looked back.

You had to do it all alone,

make a living, make a home.

Must have been as hard as it could be.

And when I couldn't sleep at night,

scared things wouldn't turn out right.

You would hold my hand and sing to me.

Caterpillar in the tree,

how you wonder who you'll be.

Can't go far but you can always dream.

Wish you may and wish you might.

Don't you worry, hold on tight.

I promise you there will come a day,

butterfly fly away.

Butterfly fly away, butterfly fly away

flap your wings now you can't stay.

Take those dream and make them all come true.

Butterfly fly away, butterfly fly away

we've been waiting for this day,

all along and knowing just what to do

Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly fly away...
