Beautiful, just beautiful
Fly little butterfly, fly
Your rainbow wings
So shimmery
Up against the sky

Weightless flight so graceful
A mass of colors never shy
Land on my finger
For a moment
Then you say goodbye

Fly away so quickly
So pretty to the eye
Try to gather
Nectar
But the breeze blows you awry
