Butterfly Lyrics
In my mother's house
there's a photograph
of a day gone past
always makes me laugh.
There's a little girl
wary of the world
she got much to learn
get her fingers burned.
An infinity
between you and me
was it family, yeah
said that I'd be fine
give me all your time
and I left your side
like a butterfly.
Chorus:
Shower me with your love
all of everyday
you make the milk gold sun
shine on me
lift me up so high
watch me fly away
and you give me life
like a butterfly
In my mother's house
there was happiness
I wrapped myself in it
was my chrysalis
as my life unfolds
see a pattern through
of you protecting me
and I protecting you
what was that you'd say
make your own mistakes
and when you grow, make sure that you remain the same
now i realise
what was on your mind
when i left your side
like a butterfly
Chorus:
Shower me with your love
all of everyday
you make the milk gold sun
shine on me
lift me up so high
watch my fly away
and you give me life
like a butterlfy
Shower me with your love
all of everyday
you make the milk gold sun
shine on me
lift me up so high
watch me fly away
and you give me life
like a butterfly
there's a photograph
of a day gone past
always makes me laugh.
There's a little girl
wary of the world
she got much to learn
get her fingers burned.
An infinity
between you and me
was it family, yeah
said that I'd be fine
give me all your time
and I left your side
like a butterfly.
Shower me with your love
all of everyday
you make the milk gold sun
shine on me
lift me up so high
watch me fly away
and you give me life
like a butterfly
there was happiness
I wrapped myself in it
was my chrysalis
as my life unfolds
see a pattern through
of you protecting me
and I protecting you
what was that you'd say
make your own mistakes
and when you grow, make sure that you remain the same
now i realise
what was on your mind
when i left your side
like a butterfly
Shower me with your love
all of everyday
you make the milk gold sun
shine on me
lift me up so high
watch my fly away
and you give me life
like a butterlfy
all of everyday
you make the milk gold sun
shine on me
lift me up so high
watch me fly away
and you give me life
like a butterfly

This is a reli pretty song. Corinne bailey rae is comparing her upbring to that of a butterflies life, her home was her chrysallis which is where something of beauty and grace is growing like a butterfly. Just to say alot of the lyrics up here are wrongs.

its such a pretty song
I turned 21 today and I'm finally moving out of my childhood home next week...this song reminds me of my mom. She was always my best friend and always will be. I guess I hatched from my chrysalis and I'm flying away. She gave me life like a butterfly :)
