lyrics

When We Walked With Butterflies

When we walked with butterflies
We followed, you and me
Wings they danced before us
To find that hollow tree

We mustn't talk, not a bit
We mustn't talk, not at all
The forest hears our every call
And they might fly away

When we walked with butterflies
I felt you take my hand
Wings they danced before us
To guide us through this land

Is she an elf, a princess?
For the forest, see she cries
Is she an elf, ah yeah, she's dressed
With wings like butterflies

When we walked with butterflies
I put you on my back
A lookout tall, a lookout brave
To holt their fierce attack

She says, don't cut the tree
The hollow tree
It keeps us all alive
Don't touch the tree
The hollow tree
Or we will not survive

When we walked with butterflies
We followed hand in hand
Wings they danced before us
To guide us through this land

Warm, wise and funny, Barry Peters is an artist worth introducing to every child. ... more
