Corinne Bailey Rae - 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 affinity

Between you and me

Cause we're family

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 red rose sun

Shine on me

Lift me up so high

Watch me fly away

Would you live 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 that you'd say

Make your own mistakes

And when you're grown

Make sure that you remain the same

Now I realise

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 red rose sun

Shine on me

Lift me up so high

Watch me fly away

Give me life

Like a butterfly

Shower me with your love

All of everyday

You make the red rose sun

Shine on me

Lift me up so high

Watch me fly away

Give me life

Like a butterfly
