Hollies - Butterfly lyrics

(clarke / hicks / nash)

We met on the shore of a lemonade lake.

Weeping willows looked down where we lay.

Orange blossoms I smell in your hair.

Butterflyflutter bybutterfly by.

Waterfalls send your ripples to us

Here on the shore of the lemonade lake.

Pond lilies play hide and seek with the fish.

Rabbit runrun rabbitrabbit run by.

Roaring mountain is standing close by

Covered with snowdrops and glistening with dew.

I hear the sound of a small hummingbird.

I took your hand and I waltzed off with you.

Come to the top of the mountain with me.

Jump on a cloud and we'll float to and fro.

Seeing the countryside covered with grass

And the top of the mountain with candy-floss and snow.

Butterfly lazily drinking the sun

Lavishly sprinkled and painted with gold.

Here in the land of the mist and the lake

Me and my true love will never grow old.
