You were beautiful before your time You were born in the days of roses and wine You're such a gracious little child To be with you would make everyone conspire. You were beautiful, entwined in lace But, shallow was the smile upon your face You find the truth embroidered behind your eyes Confuse love with a smile so many times. Why don't you float on by? Why don't you float on by? Oh, float on by… Butterfly. You were lovely all through the days For some kind of finery cuts inside of your escape You were born to be touched so deep inside Quite beautiful the way you saw yourself through your own eyes. Why don't you float on by? Why don't you float on by? Oh, float on by… Butterfly. You were born so far before your time So deep in the days of roses and wine You find the soul that's hidden behind your sight Confuse love and resurrection in your mind. Why don't you float on by? Why don't you float on by? Oh, float on by… Butterfly.
