Flutter by butterfly.
Butterfly butterfly
Don't fly away,
Stay near to me
On this warm sunny day.
So softly with grace
As you fly to and fro,
Of the prettiest movements
I've seen come or go.
Don't flutter by butterfly
On my hand lay,
I'll sing you a song
On this beautiful day.
You move on the breeze
So slowly with ease,
Often you flutter
And settle on trees.
After you rest
You once again fly,
Through the warm gentle air
In the fragrance of sky.
Stay with me now
For a while, not long,
I'll sing soft and gently
My butterfly song.
Of elegant beauty
And colourful wing,
Again by my way
As you flutter I sing.
Of natures creation
Your movements excelled,
As you've lived for this day
So your beauties beheld.
