Butterfly Fly Away (Feat. Miley Cyrus) Lyrics

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 livin', 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 meCaterpillar 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 that 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 last
Looked away and back again
Suddenly a year was ten

Don't know how it got so far so fastAnd yes I still don't understand
It's not anything we planned
Kind of makes you think it's meant to be (it's a destiny)
I always knew the day would come
You'd stop crawling, start to run
Beautiful as beautiful can beCaterpillar 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 awayButterfly fly away (butterfly fly away)
Got your wings, now you can't stay
Take those dreams and make them all come trueButterfly 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
I hope you find your way and all the things you wish for, love and care about
Butterfly fly away (oh, won't you fly away)
Butterfly fly away (oh, won't you fly away)
Butterfly fly away
