You tucked me in, turned out the light Kept me safe and sound at night Little girls depend on things like that
Brushed my teeth and combed my hair Had to drive me everywhere You were always there when I looked back
You had to do it all alone Make a living, make a home Must have been as hard as it could be
And 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 away
Butterfly fly away, butterfly fly away Flap your wings now you can't stay Take those dreams and make them all come true
Butterfly fly away, butterfly fly away We've been waiting for this day All along and knowing just what to do Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly fly away Butterfly fly away Butterfly fly away
