I catch the most beautiful bu*terfly in the world I keep it safe in the palm of my hand To protect it from the rain Keep spreading your wings And follow the wind It carries you along You're drifting away Without any plan Wingbeats will bring you far I catch the most beautiful bu*terfly in the world I keep it safe in the palm of my hand To protect it from the rain I'm happy you stayed With me for so long But now you have to go I dream of the day When you will return To the flowers in my hand I catch the most beautiful bu*terfly in the world I keep it safe in the palm of my hand To protect it from the rain
