Butterfly Fly Away

 You tuck me in, turn out the light

Kept me safe and sound at night

Little girls depend on things like that

 Brushed my teeth and combed my hair

Had to drive me everywhere

You were always there when I looked back

You had to do it all alone

Make a living, make a home

Must've been as hard as it could be 

And when I couldn't sleep at night

Scared things wouldn't turn out right

You would hold my hand and sing to me

Caterpillar in the tree, how you wonder who you'll be 

Can't go far but you can always dream

Wish you may, wish you might

Don't you worry, hold on tight

I promise you there will come a day

Butterfly fly away

Turned around and you were there

The two of us made quite a pair

Daddy's little girl was here at last

Looked away and back again

Suddenly a year was ten

Don't know how it got so far so fast

And yes dear, you don't understand

Its not anything we planned

Kind of makes you think its meant to be 

I always knew the day would come

You'd stop crawling, start to run

Beautiful as beautiful can be 

Caterpillar in the tree

How you wonder who you'll be 

Can't go far but you can always dream

Wish you may, wish you might

Don't you worry, hold on tight

I promise you there will come a day

Butterfly fly away

Butterfly fly away

Got your wings, now you can't stay

Take those dreams and make them all come true

Butterfly fly away

You've been waiting for this day

All along you've known just what to do

Butterfly fly away
