Billy Ray Cyrus - Butterfly Fly Away - Extended Version lyrics
Artist: Billy Ray Cyrus
album: Back to Tennessee
You tuck me in, turn out the light
Kept me safe and sound at night
Little girls depend on things like that
Brushed my teeth and combed my hair
Had to drive me everywhere
You were always there when I looked back
You had to do it all alone
Make a living, make a home
Must have been as hard as it could be
And when I couldn't sleep at night
Scared things wouldn't turn out right
You would hold my hand and sing to me
Caterpillar in the tree
How you wonder who you'll be
Can't go far but you can always dream
Wish you may and wish you might
Don't you worry, hold on tight
I promise you there will come a day
Butterfly fly away
♪
Turned around, and you were there
The two of us make quite a pair
Daddy's little girl was here at last
Looked away, and back again
Suddenly, you was ten
Don't know how I got so far so fast
And, yet I still don't understand
It's not anything we'd planned
Kind of makes you think
It's meant to be (it's destiny)
I always knew the day would come
You would stop crawlin', start to run
Beautiful as beautiful could be
Caterpillar in the tree
How you wonder who you'll be
Can't go far but you can always dream
Wish you may and wish you might
Don't you worry, hold on tight
I promise you there will come a day
Butterfly fly away
♪
Butterfly, fly away
Butterfly, fly away
Got your wings, now you can't stay
Take those dreams, and make them all come true
Butterfly, fly away
Butterfly, fly away
You've been waiting for this day
All along, and know just what to do
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly
Butterfly fly away
♪
Butterfly fly away
I hope you find your way
And all the things you wish for love and care
Butterfly fly away
