Fell in love in the winter of a night With a girl who's called for the fly
She said she loved me so, she could not let me go
But still I had to say goodbye
Butterfly, my butterfly
I'll come home to you one day
Butterfly, my butterfly
Wait for me, don't fly away
Never fly in the heat of the sun
Fold your wings when the long day is done
Stay at home and wait for me till I come back again
Counting the minutes one by one
Butterfly, my butterfly
I'll come home to you one day
Butterfly, my butterfly
Wait for me, don't fly away
When a man has the yearning to be free
He will sail till the end of the sea
For darling, I won't be too long
But while I travel, just fold your wings and wait for me
Butterfly, my butterfly
I'll come home to you one day
Butterfly, my butterfly
Wait for me, don't fly away
Butterfly, my butterfly
I'll come home to you one day
Butterfly, my butterfly
Wait for me, don't fly away
Butterfly, my butterfly
I'll come home to you one day
