Lyrics
G6 D Em A D
Where do butterflies go at night, do they sleep mum, underneath the leaves?
G6 D Em A G6 D (G6-D)
I think butterflies sing and dance , laugh and play games when the sun goes down
Verse 2
G6 D Em A D
Why do caterpillars eat all day? Will they lunch on every single leaf?
G6 D Em A G6 D (G6-D)
Tell me why they nap in sleeping bags, are they angry if we wake them up?
Bridge 1
D A Bm D A Bm7 (Pause)
Yes dear, there's many secrets we'll explore. Step outside and see what we can find out there.
G6 D E A G6 D (G6-D)
let's learn something from the butterflies, to make the most dear from our fleeting time.
VERSE 3
G6 D Em A D
We'll catch butterflies when they dream, late at night mum, take Bobby and Elaine.
G6 D Em A G6 D (G6 D)
I'll bring cookies and you'll bring the light, wont rub my eyes No, can you stay with me ?
Maybe, we'll keep their secret to ourselves, as maybe the silk they spin turns into gold
G6 D E A G6 D (END G6- D G6-D E6-D)
let's learn something from the butterflies who make the most dear of their fleeting time. (Goodnight)
