I would spin for you a blanket
Out of gold and silver threads
I would let my gentle bosom
Be a pillow for your head
I’d caress your perfect body
On a rosy bed at night
Play you love songs on a golden harp
And sing you Butterflies
In a diamond-studded chalice
On an emerald-plated tray
I would bring to you sweet nectar
And gifts of bright array
I would paint for you a castle
In a blue and yellow sky
Paint you happy ever after
And paint you Butterflies

Butterflies, my heart flutters with the notion
I get high on the wings of sweet emotion
Darling I, I just think of you and I get butterflies
I get close to you and I get butterflies

If only I were magic
I would make the wishes true
I would wave a magic wand
And be in Paradise with you
But I’m just a girl that loves you
I will love you all my life
But I do have a magic feeling
And it gives me butterflies

Butterflies, my heart flutters with the notion
I get high on the wings of sweet emotion
Darling I, I just think of you and I get butterflies

We should fly away together, you and I
Off to paradise forever, I get high
I get close to you and I get butterflies
I think of you and I get butterflies

I will spin for you a blanket out of gold and silver threads
If only I were magic, I would make the wishes true
I would wave a magic wand and be in paradise with you
