Butterly, you never make a sound 
Before you were a butterfly, you crawled on the ground 
As a tiny caterpillar, you shed your skin 
And then slept inside a cocoon until your new life did begin 

Butterfly, butterfly 
Oh, how you caught my eye 
Butterfly 

Butterfly, pretty patterns on your wings 
When the sun is shining, you like the warmth it brings 
There are thousands of butterflies, thousands of different kinds 
Some are big, the colors bright 
While some are hard to find 

Butterfly, butterfly 
Oh, how you caught my eye 
Butterfly 

Butterflies in your garden, on the sweet-smelling plants and flowers 
On a summer day when I go out to play 
I could watch butterflies for hours 

Butterfly, floatin' through the air 
Glidin' on a summer breeze without any cares 
You fly by day, what do you do at night? 
When the sun goes down, you vanish from sight 

Oh, Butterfly, butterfly 
Oh, how you caught my eye 
Butterfly 

Butterfly, butterfly 
Oh, how you caught my eye 
Butterfly
