My little butterfly   Flyin’ away   Over the mountainside   Over the lakes   Will I see you again   When sunlight fades   My little butterfly   Floating away      Oh, little bird of mine   What will it take   To make you stay right by   When starlight fades   But when morning comes   You’re far away   Oh, little bird of mine   What will it take      Sweet little girl of mine   Come back to me   Like rivers flowing down   Into the sea   Well you’re in here in the night   And break of day   Sweet little girl of mine   Come back to stay (x 5)
