(D. Gerard - H. Barns)

Fell in love in the wink of an eye
With the girl who was called Butterfly
She said she loved me so she could not let me go
But still I had to say goodbye.

Butterfly, my Butterfly
I'll come home to you one day
Butterfly, my Butterfly
Wait for me don't fly away.

Never fly in the heat of the sun
Close your wings when the long day is done
Stay home and wait for me till I get back and then
Counting the minutes one by one.

Butterfly, my Butterfly...
I'll come home to you one day
Butterfly, my Butterfly
Wait for me don't fly away.

When a man longs to be free
He will sail to the end of the sea
I won't be gone too long but while I travel on
Just close your wings and wait for me.

Butterfly, my Butterfly
I'll come home to you one day
Butterfly, my Butterfly
Wait for me don't fly away.

Butterfly, my Butterfly
I'll come home to you one day
Butterfly, my Butterfly
Wait for me don't fly away...
