Lyrics

My butterfy My butterfly My butterfly (Spread your wings and prepare to fly) My butterfly (Spread your wings and prepare to fly) My butterfly (Spread your wings and prepare to fly) My butterfly (Spread your wings and prepare to fly) My butterfly When you love someone so deeply They become your life It's easy to succumb to overwhelming fears inside Blindly I imagined I could Keep you under glass Now I understand to hold you I must open up my hands And watch you rise Oh yeah If you should return to me We truly were meant to be Butterfly I have learned that beauty Has to flourish in the light Wild horses run unbridled Or their spirit dies You have given me the courage To be all that I can And truly feel your heart will Lead you back to me when you're Ready to land Spread your wings and prepare to fly (Fly...) I can't pretend these tears Aren't overflowing steadily I can't prevent this hurt from Almost overtaking me (But I, I will stand) But I will stand and say goodbye (Stand and say goodbye) For you'll never be mine Until you know the way it feels to fly Spread your wings and prepare to fly For you have become a butterfly Fly abandonedly into the sun (fly... to the sun) If you should return to me (I will know you're mine) We truly were meant to be So spread your wings and fly (spread your wings and fly) My butterfly Fly Oh into the sun You... you and I Spread your wings Butterfly Butterfly
