If I Were A Butterfly

If I were a butterfly and you were a flower
I'd fly all around you hour after hour
Admiring your beauty, your color, your charm
I wouldn't alight, lest I cause you harm
If I were a butterfly and you were a bee
I'd bat my eyelashes and hope you would see
That I think you're friendly, in black and yellow
And I think you are a handsome fellow
If I were a butterfly and you were a bird
I'd tell you the sweetest story you've ever heard
I'd talk and talk until you fell asleep
And I'd sit by your side till your breathing was deep
If I were a butterfly and you were the wind
I would soar with you higher over the rivers bend
And as you grew to a gentle breeze blowing
I would be thankful that with you I was going.
