Marty Robbins - Fly Butterfly Fly lyrics

rate me

When you were only five you caught a butterfly<br />

You held it for a while, it made you smile, you caught a butterfly<br />

Finally it flew away, you cried and cried that day<br />

To see it fly so high, an eagle came and caught the butterfly.<br />

<br />

So don't fly too high in the sky butterfly<br />

If you fly very high in the sky you'll find the sun may burn your wings<br />

And each song you hear let it go in and out your ear<br />

Don't be fooled by the beautiful songs the nightbirds sing.<br />

<br />

Your daddy loves you best, much more than all the rest<br />

I watched you grow to be a lady then you been my butterfly<br />

Learn to fly butterfly before you fly too high<br />

An eagle waits, for watch what you do, be careful butterfly.<br />

<br />

And don't fly too high in the sky butterfly<br />

If you fly very high in the sky you'll find the sun may burn your wings<br />

And each song you hear let it go in and out your ear<br />

Don't be fooled by the beautiful songs the nightbirds sing...
