Catch Another Butterfly

Do you remember days not so very long ago 
When the world was run by people twice your size? 
And the days were full of laughter 
And the nights were full of stars 
And when you grew tired you could close your eyes 

Yes the stars were there for wishing 
And the wind was there for kites 
And the morning sun was there for rise and shine 
And even if the sniffles kept you 
Home from school in bed 
You couldn't hardly stay there after nine 

And I wonder if the smell of morning's faded 
What happened to the robin's song 
That sparkled in the sky? 
Where's all the water gone 
That tumbled down a stream? 
Will I ever catch another butterfly? 

Do you remember campouts right in your own backyard? 
Wondering how airplanes could fly 
And the hours spent just playin' 
With a funny rock you found 
With crystal specks as blue as all the sky 

And I wonder if the smell of morning's faded 
What happened to the robin's song 
That sparkled in the sky? 
Where's all the water gone 
That tumbled down a stream? 
Will I ever catch another butterfly? 

Now I watch my son, he's playin' with his toys 
He's happy, I give him all I can 
But I can't help feelin' 
Just a little tingly inside 
When I hear him say he wants to be a man 

And I wonder if the smell of morning's faded 
What happened to the robin's song 
That sparkled in the sky? 
Where's all the water gone 
That tumbled down a stream? 
Will I ever catch another butterfly? 
Will I ever catch another butterfly?
