Butterfly Jar

Prettiest thing he ever saw
He’d been looking near and far
But he didn’t want the world to share
So he kept her in a butterfly jar

All the time his beauty slept
While he was watching in the dark
No one saw and no one knew
That he kept her in a butterfly jar

Life goes on, around you everywhere now, life goes on
It’s buzzing everywhere now, life goes on
No matter who you are, you’ll never stop it jumping like a
Spark into a heart

Wouldn’t it be the strangest thing
As we spin around this weary star
If all the time we never knew
We were living in a butterfly jar

Life goes on, around you everywhere now, life goes on
It’s buzzing everywhere now, life goes on
No matter who you are, you’ll never stop it jumping like a
Spark into a heart

Life goes on, around you everywhere now, life goes on
It’s buzzing everywhere now, life goes on
No matter who you are, you’ll never stop it jumping like a
Spark into a heart
Oh, heart

Prettiest thing he ever saw
He’d been looking near and far
But he didn’t want the world to share
So he kept her in a butterfly jar {butterfly jar}
Kept her in a butterfly jar
Kept her in a butterfly... jar
