And a long time ago and far away,
Beyond this earthly realm.
Can you imagine a beautiful girl,
Deep in a lush green forest dwelling.
Everyday she followed the tangled paths.
Flowers bright and lovely delighted her,
Gathering them in her arms,
Happy and free the girl roamed.
In a cave close lived a mean witch,
Jealous of the girls beauty, she murmured
Kneeling in front of her caldron whispering,
Live in the forest forever as a butterfly, my pretty!
Moments later the girl was transformed.
Now years have passed and the girl is doomed,
Only to live as a butterfly in the forest forever.
Pushing through thick vines a dragon saw her.
Quietly he watched butterfly floating and drifting.
Realizing he was in love he finally, said hello.
Sweetly she drifted to him swirling and twirling.
Together they roamed all day in happiness,
Under the stars they slept, dreaming.
Very much, in love the butterfly and the dragon.
Walking a path one day, the mean witch saw them.
Xanadu was their existence.
Yearning, to make things right she turned him.
Zillions of years have passed for two butterflies drifting.
