The Butterfly

Butterfly, Butterfly, Oh! so fair On gossamer wings you flit on the air Soaring serenely high up above Tell me, please tell me, where is my true love? With my arms wrapped around you You started to weep And the tears that you shed Flowed down your sweet cheek The tears I know, were to you quite a slip But I brushed them away with a kiss from my lips And the moments together were so full of love They had to be blessed from the Heavens above Like the clouds passed the moon On the breezes so light When we both held our hands And I kissed you goodnight Butterfly, Oh Butterfly unfurl your wings Whisper to me a few little things Was that last kiss an omen that came from your heart Or the sadness we felt, when we had to part The lingering touch of your hand held in mine Closed a chapter of life that was Oh! so, sublime I know that I'll never find love like we had But my memories of you will keep me ever so glad.
