You tucked me in, turned out the light
Kept me safe and sound at night
Little girls depend on things like that

Brushed my teeth and combed my hair
Had to drive me everywhere
You were always there when I looked back

You had to do it all alone
Make a live and make a home
Must have been as hard as it could be

And when I couldn't sleep at night
Scared things wouldn't turn out right
You would hold my hand and sing to me

Caterpillar in the tree
How you wonder who you'll be
Can't go far but you can always dream

Wish you may and wish you might
Don't you worry, hold on tight
I promise you there will come a day
Butterfly fly away

Butterfly fly away
Butterfly fly away

Got your wings, now you can't stay
Take those dreams
And make them all come true

Butterfly fly away
Butterfly fly away

We've been waiting for this day
All along and knowing just what to do

Butterfly
Butterfly
Butterfly
Butterfly fly away
