Elusive Butterfly

Breeze blowing across my face
even the wind leaves a trace
gazing at wavering trees
petals floating in the breeze

For a brief moment in time
I thought maybe you'd be mine
but they were only dreams
and dreams are never what they seem

Love the elusive butterfly
always seems to pass me by
love the elusive butterfly
fly, fly fly, my elusive butterfly

Raindrops falling at my feet
why does love taste bittersweet?
butterfly's dancing in the trees
and then float off in the breeze

Love the elusive butterfly
always seems to pass me by
love the elusive butterfly
fly, fly fly, my elusive butterfly
