G                   C          G
Fell in love in the wink of an eye,
                    C            D7
with a girl who was called butterfly.
    G         C                G
She said, she loved me so, she could not let me go,
             D              G
but still, I had to say goodbye.

CHORUS:
      G                            C                D7
Butterfly, my butterfly, I’ll come home, to you one day.
      G                  C        D              G
Butterfly, my butterfly, wait for me, don’t fly away.

G                C           G
Never fly in the heat of the sun,
                         C           D7
fold your wings when the long day is done.
     G         C                 G
Stay home, and wait for me, till I get back again,
             D              G
counting the minutes one by one.   

CHORUS:
G                                  C                D7

G                C         G
When a man has a yen to be free,
                    C          D7
he will sail to the end of the sea.
  G                 C         G
I won’t be gone too long, but while I travel on,
     D                            G
just fold your wings and wait for me.
