Elusive

ELUSIVE

Puppy love’s kiss when I was thirteen
First time a butterfly fluttered by me

Learned all the cheers of the cheerleading team
When next did the butterfly flutter by me…..

Cause one of those cheerleaders my special she
                   GIMME A B!
for the Butterfly that fluttered by me…  

Went off to college to get my degree
Again did a butterfly flutter by me…

Math degree earned plus matrimony              
Sei bellissima butterfly fluttering by me             

As my children born, each one a beauty
For each did a butterfly flutter by me

Alone once again, yet hopeful I be
by and by that the butterfly flutters by me…
