let me summon butterflies



Let me summon butterflies
Let me call them for your eyes

Let me make the flowers bloom
Let me take away your gloom

Let me pick a star to light you
Let me beautify the view

Let me dance and let me sing
Let me give what I could bring

Let me walk you by the shore
Let me show you love so pure

Let me labor for your ease
I won't ask for your embrace

And you can shut your heart with latch
For loving me back is too much
