Butterflies - Lyrics by Dolly Parton


Lyrics

I would spin for you a blanket
Out of gold and silver threads
I would let my gentle bosom
Be a pillow for your head
I'd caress your perfect body
On a rosy bed at night
Play you love songs on a golden harp
And sing you butterflies
In a diamond-studded chalice
On an emerald-plated tray
I would bring to you sweet nectar
And gifts of bright array
I would paint for you a castle
In a blue and yellow sky
Paint you happy ever after
And paint you butterflies

Chorus:

Butterflies, my heart flutters with the notion
I get high on the wings of sweet emotion
Darling i, i just think of you and i get butterflies
I get close to you and i get butterflies

If only i were magic
I would make the wishes true
I would wave a magic wand
And be in paradise with you
But i'm just a girl that loves you
I will love you all my life
But i do have a magic feeling
And it gives me butterflies

Chorus:

Butterflies, my heart flutters with the notion
I get high on the wings of sweet emotion
Darling i, i just think of you and i get butterflies

We should fly away together, you and i
Off to paradise forever, i get high
I get close to you and i get butterflies
I think of you and i get butterflies

Fade:

I will spin for you a blanket out of gold and silver threads
If only i were magic, i would make the wishes true
I would wave a magic wand and be in paradise with you
