Butterfly Lyrics by Mariah Carey

Butterfly Lyrics

    VERSE 1
    When you love someone so deeply
    They become your life
    It's easy to succumb to overwhelming fears inside
    Blindly I imaged I could
    Keep you under glass
    Now I understand to hold you
    I must open my hands
    And watch you rise


    CHORUS 1
    Spread your wings and prepare to fly
    For you have become a butterfly
    Fly abandonedly 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
    Has to flourish in the light
    Wild horses run unbridled
    Or their spirit dies
    You have given me the courage
    To be all that I can
    And truly feel your heart will
    Lead you back to me when you're
    Ready to land


    CHORUS 2
    Spread your wings and prepare to fly
    For you have become a butterfly
    Fly abandonedly 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 over flowing 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 3
    Spread your wings and prepare to fly
    For you have become a butterfly
    Fly abandonedly into the sun
    If you should return to me
    We truly were meant to be
    So spread your wings and fly
    Butterfly


    CHORUS 4
    Spread your wings and prepare to fly
    For you have become a butterfly
    Fly abandonedly 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
    Spread your wings and fly
    Butterfly
