There's a mansion on the moon
Honey we will be there soon
Into ships our dreams are tossed
Hold my hand and let's get lost
Baby Is a Butterfly
Silken wings and eagle eye
Watch her running up the sky
Oh Baby…is a butterfly
Rivers never stop to rest
Sparrows know that they are blessed
(going forth into the night
Beckoned by the city lights)
Baby Is a Butterfly
See her swimming in the sky
Hurts me so to hear her cry
Oh baby…is a butterfly
Staying all day at the fair
Evening primrose in her hair
Everything's a miracle
Now my cup is always full
Baby Is a Butterfly
Silken skin and eagle eye
We'll be angels by and by
Baby…is a butterfly
(alt. verse couplet)
Stars are hiding in the clouds
Branches gonna catch them now
