Mariah Carey Song Lyrics

Butterfly

First Stanza:

When you love someone so deeply

They become your life

It's easy to succumb to

Overwhelming feeling inside

Blindly I imagined I could keep you under glass

Now I understand to hold you I must open up my hands

And watch you rise.

Chorus:

Spread your wings and prepare to fly

For you have become a butterfly (Ooh, yeah)

Fly abandonedly into the sun

If you should return to me

We truly were meant to be

So spread your wings and fly

Butterfly.

Second Stanza:

I have learned that beauty has to flourish through the light

Wild horses run unbridled or their spirit dies

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 (Fly)

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 overflowing steadily

I can't prevent this hurt is overtaking me

But I will stand and say goodbye for you'll never be mine

Until you know the way it is to fly

Chorus:

Spread your wings and prepare to fly (Fly)

For you have become a butterfly

Fly abandonedly into the sun (Fly to the sun)

If you should return to me (I will know you're mine)

We truly were meant to be

So spread your wings and fly (Spread your wings and fly)

Butterfly (My butterfly)

Chorus:

Spread your wings and prepare to fly (Fly)

For you have become a butterfly

Fly abandonedly into the sun (Ooh, into the sun)

If you should return to me (Ooh)

We truly were meant to be (You and I)

So spread your wings and fly

Butterfly.

Outro:

So flutter through the sky

Butterfly, fly

Spread your wings and fly

Butterfly.
