Butterfly Fly Away

You (Fsus2)tucked me in, turned out the light;

(Dm7)kept me safe and sound at night.

(F)Lit tle girls de pend on things like (Dm7)that.

(Fsus2)Brushed my teeth and combed my hair;

(Dm7)had to drive me ev ’ry where.

(F)You were al ways there when I looked (Dm7)back.

You had to do it all a lone,

make a liv ing, make a home.

It (F)must have been as hard as it could (Dm7)be.

And when I could n’t sleep at night,

scared things (Dm7)would n’t turn out right,

(F)you would hold my (C)hand and sing to me:

(C)“Cat er pil lar in the (C)tree, (F)how you won der who you’ll be.

(C)Can’t go (G)far, but you can al ways (D)dream.

(C)Wish you may and wish you (C)might; (F)don’t you wor ry, hold on tight.

I (C)prom ise you there will (C)come a day,

(Gsus)but ter fly, (G)fly a way.”

(F)But ter fly, fly a way.

(Dm7)Got your wings now, you can’t stay.

(Fsus2)Take those dreams and make them all come (Dm7)true.

(F)But ter fly, fly a way.

(Dm7)You’ve been wait ing for this day.

(Fsus2)All a long, you’ve known just what to do.

(Fsus2)But ter fly,

(C)but ter fly,

(Dm7)but ter fly,

but ter fly, (G)fly a way.
