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 meCaterpillar in the tree
How you wonder who you'll be
Can't go far but you can always dreamWish 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
Take 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 and knowing just what to do
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly fly awayButterfly fly away
Butterfly fly away
