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)

Got your wings, now you can't stay

Take those dreams and make them all come true

Butterfly, fly away (butterfly, fly away)

You've been waiting for this day

All along you've known just what to do

Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly

Butterfly, fly away

Butterfly, fly away

Butterfly, fly away
