Butterflies and Feathers
Music And Lyrics by Michael A. Hawks
VERSE 1: A pretty girl, just like her mama
Married a man looked a bit, like her father
Loved to dance barefoot in the summer rain
Waving her arms like a bird on the wing
I laughed when she laughed, cried when she cried
I’d dry her tears, hide my fears deep inside
She said, forgive me for leaving so soon
But, I’ve had a beautiful time, just a beautiful time, she loved
CHORUS: Simple things like, Butterflies and Feathers
The morning dew and stormy weather
Laughing out loud at the picture show
Long discussions like, why fire fly’s glow
She loved, Butterflies and Feathers
Butterflies and feathers, butterflies and feathers
VERSE 2: I prayed God take me, children need their mother
I hope he knows best, cause he knows how much we miss her
When the clock went still, she said my love good-bye
But, maybe I’ll come back, as a butterfly, a pretty butterfly, she loved
REPEAT CHORUS
THE END
