Catch Another Butterfly

Do you remember days

Not so very long ago

When the world was run by

People twice your size

And the days were full of laughter

And the nights were full of stars

And when you grew tired you

Could close your eyes

Yes the stars were were there for wishin

And the wind was there for kites

And the morning sun was

There for rise and shine

And even in the sniffles

Kept you home from school in bed

You couldn't hardly

Stay there after nine

And I wonder if the

Smell of mornings faded

What happened to the robins

Song that sparkled in the sky

Wheres all the water gone

That tumbled down the stream

Will I ever catch another butterfly

Right in your own backyard

Wondering how airplanes could fly

And the hours spent just playing

With a funny rock you found

With crystal specks as

Blue as all the sky

Now I watch my son

Hes playing with his toys

Hes happy and I

Give him all I can

But I cant help feeling

Just a lime inside

When to hear him say

He wants to be a man
