Butterfly

Mariah Carey

---

Oh, oh, oh, oh

[Verse 1]
When you love someone so deep
That they become your life
It's easy to succumb to overwhleming feelings inside
Blindly I imagined that I could
Keep you under glass
Now I understand to hold you
I must open my hands and watch you rise

[Chorus]
Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly
Oh, fly abondonely into the sun
If you should return to me
We truly were meant to be
So spread your wings and fly
Butterfly

[Verse 2]
I have learned that beauty
Hsa to flourish in the light
Wild horses run unbridled
Or thier spirits die
You have given me the courage
To be all that I can
And I truly feel your heart will lead you back to me
When you're ready to land

[Chorus]
Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly
Oh, fly abondonely into the sun
If you should return to me
We truly were meant to be
So spread your wings and fly
Butterfly

[Bridge]
I can't pretend these tears
Aren't overflowing steadily
I can't prevent this hurt from
Almost overtaking me
But I will stand and say goodbye
For you'll never be mine
Until you know the way it feels to fly

[Chorus]
Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly
Oh, fly abondonely into the sun
If you should return to me
We truly were meant to be
So spread your wings and fly
Butterfly

[Chorus]
Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly
Oh, fly abondonely into the sun
If you should return to me
We truly were meant to be
So spread your wings and fly
Butterfly

So flutter through the sky
Butterfly
Fly
Spread your wings and fly
Butterfly
