Corinne Bailey Rae Butterfly Lyrics

Butterfly Lyrics

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 infinity

Between you and me

'Coz we're family, yeah



Said that I'd be fine

Give me all your time

And I left your side

Like a butterfly



Shower me with your love

All of everyday

You make the milk of

Sunshine on me, yeah



Lift me up so high

Watch me fly away

Would you give your life

Like a butterfly?



In my mother's house

There was happiness

I wrapped my myself in it

Was my chrysalis



As my life unfolds

See a pattern through

Of you protecting me

And I protecting you



What was I to say?

Make your own mistakes

And when you woke

Made sure that you remained the same



Now I realize

What was on your mind

When I left your side

Like a butter fly



Shower me with your love

All of everyday

You make the milk of

Sunshine on me, yeah



Lift me up so high

Watch me fly away

And give me a life

Like a butterfly



Hey, shower me, yeah

Shower me with your love

All of everyday

You make the milk of

Sunshine on me, yeah



Lift me up so high

Watch me fly away

And to give me a life

Like a butterfly
