Lyrics

[Verse 1]
What is this thing in life
That persuades me to spend
Time away from you?
If you can answer this
You can have the moon
[Verse 2]
This is the place to be
Anyway, you can see
There's a lovely view
Why are there always
So many other things to do
[Verse 3]
Distractions, like butterflies
Are buzzing 'round my head
When I'm alone, I think of you
And the life we'd lead
If we could only be free
From these distractions
[Verse 4]
The postman's at the door
While the telephone rings
On the kitchen wall
Pretend we're not at home
And they'll disappear
[Verse 5]
I want to be with you
Tell me what I can do
Nothing is too small
Away from all this jazz
We could do anything at all
[Verse 6]
Distractions, like butterflies
Are buzzing 'round my head
When I'm alone, I think of you
And the things we'd do
If we could only be through
With these distractions
[Verse 7]
I'll find a peaceful place
Far away from the noise
Of a busy day
Where we can spend our nights
Counting shooting stars
[Verse 8]
Distractions, like butterflies
Are buzzing 'round my head
When I'm alone, I think of you
And the things we'd do
If we could only be through
With these distractions
[Verse 9]
Like butterflies, they're buzzing round my head
When I'm alone, I think of you
And the life we'd lead
If we could only be free
From these distractions
