Butterfly Fly Away

You (Fsus2)tucked me in, turned out the light;

(Dm7)kept me safe and sound at night.

(F)Little girls depend on things like (Dm7)that.

(Fsus2)Brushed my teeth and combed my hair;

(Dm7)had to drive me ev'rywhere.

(F)You were always there when I looked (Dm7)back.

(C)You had to do it all alone,

make a living, make a home.

It (F)must have been as hard as it could (Dm7)be.

(C)And when I couldn't sleep at night,

scared things (Dm7)wouldn't turn out right,

(F)you would hold my (C)hand and sing to me:

(C)"Caterpillar in the tree, (F)how you wonder who you'll be.

(C)Can't go (G)far, but you can always (D)dream.

(C)Wish you may and wish you might;

(F)don't you worry, hold on tight.

I (C)promise you there will come a day,

(Gsus)butterfly, (G)fly away."

(F)Butterfly, fly away.

(Dm7)Got your wings now, you can't stay.

(Fsus2)Take those dreams and make them all come (Dm7)true.

(F)Butterfly, fly away.

(Dm7)You've been waiting for this day.

(Fsus2)All along, you've known just what to do.

(Fsus2)Butterfly, (C)butterfly, (Dm7)butterfly,

butterfly, (G)fly away.
