Courtship of the Butterflies

Two flitting butterflies rising from the ground
Up, up they go, twisting round and round
Obviously he loves her, his courtship is his dance
Two little butterflies on a carousel of romance

I'll dance around you Bluebird
I can do that too
Perhaps I would look foolish
But love compels me to

I'd do all sorts of crazy things
To get to see your smile
Though you might shake your head at me
And wonder all the while,

"Is he for real? I never knew
He had this side to him
He's thorough and methodical 
But also does things on a whim"

And I'd say back, "How right you are,
You just wait and see
If someday ever happens
You won't be bored with me"
