Butterflies

Verse 1
Butterflies of enchantment
How did you depart
From your vibrant homes of canvas
Straight into my open heart?

Verse 2
Did you beat your wings with passion?
Is that how you took flight?
Taking one last backwards glance then
Flying free into the night.

Chorus
You'll be missed
in your painted world.
Colour-kissed;
wings unfurled.
But please stay
Where you belong.
And make me feel
Alive and strong.

Verse 3
Jewels of red and gold and purple,
I feel your dance has begun.
Rhythm merging with my heartbeat
'Til they both blend into one.

Chorus
You'll be missed
in your painted world.
Colour-kissed;
wings unfurled.
But please stay
Where you belong
And make me feel
Alive and strong.

Bridge
Sometimes you flutter a gentle caress.
But sometimes your wings beat so hard
That you make me forget how to breathe.
Oh, make me forget how to breathe.

Chorus
You'll be missed
in your painted world
Colour-kissed;
wings unfurled.
But please stay
Where you belong
And make me feel
Alive and strong.

And make me feel
this can't be wrong.
