Butterfly

Corinne Bailey Rae · Holiday Gift Pack [2007]

In my mother's house

There's a photograph

Of a day gone past

Always makes me laugh

There's a little girl

Wary of the world

She got much to learn

Get her fingers burned

An afffinity

Between you and me

Was a family

Said that i'd be fine

Gave me all your time

And I left your side

Like a butterfly



Shower me with your love

Colour everyday

You make the milk-gold sun

Shine on me

Lift me up so high

Watch me fly away

And you gave me life

Like a butterfly



In my mother's house

There was happiness

I wrapped myself in it

Was my chrysalis

As my life unfolds

See a pattern through

Of you protecting me

I protecting you

What was that you say

Make your own mistakes

And when you're grown

Make sure that you remain the same

Now i realise

What was on your mind

When i left your side

Like a butterfly



Shower me with your love

Colour everyday

You make the milk-gold sun

Shine on me

Lift me up so high

Watch me fly away

And you gave me life

Like a butterfly



Shower me with your love

Colour everyday

You make the milk-gold sun

Shine on me

Lift me up so high

Watch me fly away

And you gave me life

Like a butterfly
