Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
You tucked me in, turned out the lights Kept me safe and sound at night Little girls depend on things like that Brushed my teeth and combed my hair had to drive me everywhere You were always there when I looked back You had to do it all alone, make a livin' make a home Must have been as hard as it could be And when I couldn't sleep at night Scared things wouldn't turn out right You would hold my hand and sing to me Caterpillar in the tree How you wonder who you'll be Cant go far but you can always dream Wish you may and wish you might Don't you worry hold in tight I promise you there will come a day Butterfly fly away Butterfly fly away, butterfly fly away Flap your wings now you can't stay Take those dreams and make them all come true Butterfly fly away, butterfly fly away We've been waiting for this day All along and knowing just what to do Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly fly away Butterfly fly away Butterfly fly away
