CATCH ANOTHER BUTTERFLY
Do you remember
Not so very long ago
When the world was run
by people
Twice your size
And the days were full
of laughter
And the nights were
full of stars
And when you grew tired
And you could close
your eyes
Yes the stars were there
for wishing
And the wind was there
for kites
And the morning sun
was there for rise and shine
And even if the sniffles
Kept you home from school
in bed
You couldn't hardy stay
there after nine
And I wonder if the
smell of morning's faded
What happened to the
robin's song
That sparkled in the
sky
Where's all the water
gone
That stumbled down a
stream
Will I ever catch another
butterfly?
Do you remember camp-outs
Right in your own backyard
Wondering how airplanes
could fly
And the hours spent
playin'
With a funny rock you
found
With crystal specks
as blue as all the sky
And I wonder if the
smell of morning's faded
What happened to the
robin's song
That sparkled in the
sky
Where's all the water
gone
That stumbled down a
stream
Will I ever catch another
butterfly?
Now I watch my son
He's playin' with his
toys
He's happy, I give him
all I can
But I can't help feelin'
Just a little tingly
inside
When I hear him say
he wants to be a man
And I wonder if the
smell of morning's faded
What happened to the
robin's song
That sparkled in the
sky
Where's all the water
gone
That stumbled down a
stream
Will I ever catch another
butterfly?
Will I ever catch another
butterfly?
