[Verse 1]

That twinkle in your soft brown eyes, enough light left to see

Those dancing summer fireflies

You’re almost home, and free

It’s getting dark and your hand’s as smooth as stones washed by the sea

But I’ll keep holding on to you as you let go of me

[Verse 2]

I’ll put on my party dress and we’ll go out for tea

We’ll find a great big space somewhere, you’ll throw a ball to me

And I’ll catch it

I’ll be dancing with my feet safely on your shoes

You showed this little girl the way, now I know all the moves

[Chorus]

You say forgiveness is a freedom not limited to few

Freedom to live and love, thе butterflies, they knеw

The butterflies and you

[Verse 3]

I hear you in the spring when new things start to grow again

I smell you in the laundry fresh that’s blowing in the wind

I feel you in the friendships dear that only ever grew

With love and light like stained glass wings and kindness filtering through

[Chorus]

I’ll put on my party dress and we’ll go out for tea

We’ll find a great big space somewhere, you’ll throw a ball to me

And I’ll catch it

I’ll be dancing with my feet safely on your shoes

You showed this little girl the way, now I know all the moves

You say forgiveness is a freedom not limited to few

Freedom to live and love, the butterflies, they knew

The butterflies and you
