(BOSSA NOVA)
FELL IN LOVE IN THE WRINK OF AN EYE
WITH A GIRL WHO WAS CALLED BUTTERFLY
SHE SAID SHE LOVE ME SO SHE COULD NOT LET ME GO
BUT STILL I HAD TO SAY GOODBYE
BUTTERFLY MY BUTTERFLY I'LL COME HOME TO YOU ONE DAY
BUTTERFLY MY BUTTERFLY WAIT FOR ME DON'T FLY AWAY
NEVER FLY IN THE HEAT OF THE SUN
FOLD YOU WINGS WHEN THE LONG DAY IS DONE
STAY HOME AND WAIT FOR ME TILL I COME BACK AGAIN
COUNTING THE MINUTES ONE BY ONE
WHEN A MAN HAS A YEARN TO BE FREE
WILL SAIL TO THE END OF THE SEA
I WON'T BE GONE TOO LONG BUT WHILE I TRAVEL ON
JUST FOLD YOUR WINGS AND WIAT FOR ME
I FOUND HER DIARY UNDERMEATH THE TREE
AND STARTED READING ABOUT ME
THE WORDS BEGIN TO STICK THEN TEARS TO FALL
HER MEANING NOW WAS CLEAR TO SEE
THE LOVE SHE'D WAITED FOR WAS SOMEONE ELSE NOT ME
WOULDN'T YOU KNOW IT SHE WOULDN'T SHOW IT
AND AS I GOT THROUHG MY LIFE
I WILL WISH FOR HER HIS WIFE
ALLTHE SWEET THING SHE CAN FIND
ALL THE SWEET THINGS SHE CAN FIND
