Kept me safe and sound at night
Little girls depend on things like that
Had to drive me everywhere
You were always there when I looked back
Make a livin’, make a home
Must have been as hard as it could be
Scared things wouldn’t turn out right
You would hold my hand and sing to me
Can’t go far but you can always dream
Wish you may and wish you might
Don’t you worry hold on tight
I promise you that there will come a day
Butterfly fly away
The two of us made quite a pair
Daddy’s little girl was here at last
Looked away and back again
Suddenly a year was ten
Don’t know how it got so far so fast
It’s not anything we planned
Kind of makes you think it’s meant to be (it’s a destiny)
I always knew the day would come
You’d stop crawling, start to run
Beautiful as beautiful can be
How you wonder who you’ll be
Can’t go far but you can always dream
Wish you may and wish you might
Don’t you worry, hold on tight
I promise you there will come a day
Butterfly fly away
Got your wings, now you can’t stay
Take those dreams and make them all come true
You’ve been waiting for this day
All along you’ve known just what to do
Butterfly fly away
I hope you find your way and all the things you wish for, love and care about
Butterfly fly away (oh, won’t you fly away)
Butterfly fly away (oh, won’t you fly away)
Butterfly fly away
