You tucked me in, turned out the light
Kept me safe and sound at night
Little girls depend on things like thatBrushed my teeth and combed my hair
Had to drive me everywhere
You were always there when I looked backYou had to do it all alone
Make a living, make a home
Must have been as hard as it could beAnd when I couldn't sleep at night
Scared things wouldn't turn out right
You would hold my hand and sing to me
Caterpillar in the tree,
How you wonder who you'll be
Can't go far but you can always dream
Wish you may and wish you might
Don't you worry, hold on tight.
I promise you there will come a day
Butterfly, fly awayTurned around and you were there
The two of us made quite a pair
Daddy's little girl was here at lastLooked away and back again
Suddenly a year was ten
Don't know how it got so far so fastButterfly, fly away (butterfly, fly away)
Got your wings, now you can't stay
Take those dreams and make them all come true
Butterfly, fly away (butterfly, fly away)
You've been waiting for this day
All along you've known just what to doButterfly, butterfly, butterfly
Butterfly, fly away
Butterfly, fly away
