Butterflies & Babies

[Verse 1]
The first time that I saw her, she was chasing butterflies
For every one you catch, a dream comes true
Ran up the hill beside her and when we reached the top
I caught a dream and she said, "I love you"

[Chorus]
She stopped my running 'round with other ladies
I gave her butterflies, she gave me babies

[Verse 2]
The summers went along and life became a song
She held me extra close to her one day
She said, "When I die, I'll be a butterfly"
And kissed me as we watched our children play
She knew her time was not too far away

[Chorus]
She stopped my running 'round with other ladies
I gave her butterflies, she gave me babies

[Verse 3]
Today, I took the children to see Mama on the hill
They put all their flowers down with care
Then, there came from the sky a pretty little butterfly
It touched my hand and gently settled there
"Honey, when I die, I'll be a butterfly"
It left my hand to join the kids at play
Now it's my dream to fly with her someday

[Chorus]
She stopped my running 'round with other ladies
I gave her butterflies, she gave me babies
She stopped my running 'round with other ladies
I gave her butterflies, she gave me babies
