Butterfly lyrics
by Joni Mitchell
(Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone?
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone?)
[Verse 1]
I'm awake again, looking over photos that I know I should've thrown away
You're in my head, I'm thinking of you every single second of the night and day
What ever happened to the good times?
Did ya bury them, or wishing they would go away?
I wonder what could make you satisfied
Cause you and I, I thought that we were here to stay
[Pre-Chorus]
You kept on walking when I tried to tell ya things would change
Now you're beggin' for my love
But I don't want the pain
[Chorus]
Love isn't just another lullaby
It's a butterfly
And baby it could fly away
I'm gonna take it to the other side
Cause you and I
I thought that we were here to stay
And everything you do
And everything you do
Is what makes me keep coming
Love isn't just another lullaby
It's a butterfly
[Verse 2]
I'm breaking down, searching for a lover just to come and turn my life around
I feel the clouds, falling on my shoulders and I know the rain is coming now
What ever happened to the good times?
Did ya bury them, or wishing they would go away?
I wonder what could make you satisfied
Cause you and I, I thought that we were here to stay
[Pre-Chorus]
You kept on walking when I tried to tell ya things would change
Now you're beggin' for my love
But I don't want the pain
[Chorus]
Love isn't just another lullaby
It's a butterfly
And baby it could fly away
I'm gonna take it to the other side
Cause you and I
I thought that we were here to stay
And everything you do
And everything you do
Is what makes me keep coming
Love isn't just another lullaby
It's a butterfly
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone?
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone?
[Bridge]
And everything you do
And everything you do
Is what makes me keep coming
Love isn't just another lullaby
It's a butterfly
[Chorus]
Love isn't just another lullaby
It's a butterfly
And baby it could fly away
I'm gonna take it to the other side
Cause you and I
I thought that we were here to stay
And everything you do
And everything you do
Is what makes me keep coming
Love isn't just another lullaby
It's a butterfly
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone?
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone?
