Butterflies

Lyrics

(French folk tune, English lyrics by Nathan Naskell Dole, publ. 1921)

What pretty wings you flutter, Butterflies, butterflies
Please take me up there with you, let me with you rise,

Refrain
Ay pretty wings we flutter, Butterflies, butterflies,
You have no wings to float on, no, you cannot rise.

2. What lovely things you look at, Butterflies, butterflies,
Bright flowers and trees you look at
When you sail the skies.

Refrain
Ay, lovely things we look at, Butterflies, butterflies,
Yet you see more than we see,
You have bigger eyes!
