Saw you on a maple leaf
And that's when I decided to be a thief
I said, 'Honey, you're a pretty cocoon'
I just know you gonna come out soon

You're a butterfly
And yes I know
And I love you
You got to let it show
Pretty butterfly
Won't you come out just for me'

You're a butterfly
You're beautiful
But you did not know it
You're a butterfly
You needed love
But you never show it
You needed warmth, you needed love
You needed nature to give you a shove
If you want to start living
You got to start flying
Spread your wings and fill the sky

You're a butterfly
And yes I know
You're a butterfly
You gotta let it show
Pretty butterfly
Won't you come out just for me'
Won't you come out just for me'

Now look at you

You're a butterfly
And yes I know
And I love you
But it's time to go
Pretty butterfly
Well it's time for me to set you free
Well it's time for me to set you free

One more thing before you go
There's something I never let anyone know
I am lonely, so confused
But I never will forget the day I dreamed today
As I passed along your way
