Butterfly

 

Oh butterfly

Why did you die?

You shone so bright and so briefly 

Butterfly

I can't but cry

Your colours grace our eyes 

Your voice our hearts

With all the music that you chose to shine

Oh my,

I remember singing your songs

With my friends late into the night

We would talk and we would dream of changes

We were young, so wild and so crazy

Then we’d sing on the top of our lungs

‘Zombie’

You made me feel like I could do anything

For that I thank you, and for that I will

Oh butterfly

Why did you die?

You shone so bright and so briefly 

Butterfly

I can't but cry

Your colours grace our eyes 

Your voice our hearts

With all the music that you chose to shine

Oh my,

I remember it so clearly 

Walking to buy your tape that day

I’m sorry it was a pirate copy

Back there that was my only way

On my walkman I’d listen

Over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again

You made me want to sing, so I’ll do that

You made me want to dare, so I’ll do that

You made me want to be, a better me

You made me, dream of everything


Oh butterfly

Why did you die?

You shone so bright and so briefly 

Butterfly

I can't but cry

Your colours grace our eyes 

Your voice our hearts

With all the music that you chose to shine to shine to shine to shine to shine

Butterfly
