Butterflies In My Stomach
Here they go again swirling around in their unpredictable fashion
Millions of them all bright and happy!
If I had an enormous net I could not catch them all
They squirm and wiggle and consume my insides
Every single day since I met you in my dreams
Who can contain them all?
If I could take a camera and snap a photograph
I could look at these butterflies more carefully
I bet they come in all shapes and sizes and I bet they sing beautiful songs
They must because I feel like there is the most extraordinary song playing within me Whenever I think of you
Sometimes it’s like a beautiful sonata
Other times it’s a jazzy tune
Butterflies dancing in an unpredictable fashion
It’s always springtime in my stomach
Please don’t let this season ever end
