It was late on summer evening
When I saw that butterfly
On it's wings were every colour you could find
And I held it for a moment
Then I let if fly away
Soon it disappeared and left me far behind
And in my imagination
I was fleating on the breeze
Drifting over every mountain sea and land
And with no one there to stop me
Every dream was coming true
People walking side by side, hand in hand
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly
Spread your wings like a bird flying high
Set your sail ride the wind
Take the news around the world
Bringing love and happiness eternally
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly
Fly away like a star in the sky
Carry hope, carry faith
Into every lonely heart
Teach the world to live in peace and harmony
In a dream I saw it flying
To a far and distant shore
Where the people stood and watched it with a smile
Soon the quarreling was over
There was peace throughout the land
Making all the days of travelling seem worthwhile
There were tulip fields in Holland
And the roses in Versailles
And the English country garden in the sun
Edelweiß and bright red popples
Loveley blue forget-me-nots
Growing tall and proud and shared by everyone
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly
Spread your wings like a bird flying high
Set your sail ride the wind
Take the news around the world
Bringing love and happiness eternally
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly
Fly away like a star in the sky
Carry hope, carry faith
Into every lonely heart
Teach the world to live in peace and harmony
Now and then there is danger all around
Thunder strikes and lightning hits the ground
But my friend shakes his wings and carries on
Through the rain to the sun
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly
Spread your wings like a bird flying high
Set your sail ride the wind
Take the news around the world
Bringing love and happiness eternally
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly
Fly away like a star in the sky
Carry hope, carry faith
Into every lonely heart
Teach the world to live in peace and harmony
And I wish that I could be up there with you
And fly so free
In the sky
Butterfly
Butterfly
