Love Is Like A Butterfly
Nana Mouskouri · Other Songs - Nana Mouskouri
Love is like a butterfly
As soft and gentle as a sigh
The muli-colored moods of love
Are like its satin wings
Love makes your heart feel strange inside
It flutters like soft wings in flight
Love is like a butterfly
A rare and gentle thing
2-
I feel it when you' re with me
It happens when you kiss me
That rare and gentle feeling
That I feel inside
Your touch is soft and gentle
Your kiss is warm and tender
Whenever I am with you
I think of butterflies
Repeat 1
Your laughter brings me sunshine
Every day is springtime
And I am only happy
When you are by my side
How precious is this love we share
How very precious sweet and rare
Together we belong
Like daffodils and butterflies
Repeat 1
Love is like a butterfly
A rare and gentle thing
