Analysis of Butterflies And Sparks
Mahesh Wadhwani 1971
Looking for the dashing spark?
I’ve not seen one even in dark
Butterfly jitters on the inside?
I haven’t had that feeling ride
Hope life fulfills your fantasy
Don’t lose out now on reality
You won’t ever see in me a spark
I’m not a guy to leave that kind of mark
Not made to shock you with my sudden glare
Or to leave you stranded with a dying flare
Cant lead you with any false remark
Wouldn’t let you have a broken heart
I am like a delicate romantic flame
Burning slow and long, not in shame
I can keep your day bright and warm
Withstanding for you, any storm
I don’t ignite and then fade away
I persist, to heat your life each day
Butterflies in stomach, a feeling I can’t give
You have my heart for as long as I live
Warmth and fuzziness you can feel inside
If you give our hearts the time to glide
An emotional bond, deep love with chemistry of its kind
But I guess, it ain’t enough to tingle any mind
