Butterflies

Sometimes you know from the start that you have a limited amount of time with someone... Every moment as beautiful and fragile as a butterfly.

No I don't believe in forever

Time has never been so kind

I lost my faith in fairy tales

And I could never call you mine

So flutter soft, sweet butterfly

I won't let this memory die

Soon enough, this will all just be a memory

Time carries us like tidal waves pulling out to sea

Hold onto me, hold onto me

Soon enough this will all just be a memory

I'll treasure you, so treasure me

Hold onto me, hold onto me

I see you now, eyes open wide

I'll travel back and visit often in my mind

Forever's far too much to ask and we can only love today

So flutter, gentle butterfly

Until you fly away

I'll treasure this

Your arms, your kiss

Time keeps pulling me under

And dragging me away

I wish I could take you with me

But it just carries you farther

And I wish you could stay

But that's not how it works

Yeah it hurts so bad

Cuz some day this will all just be a memory

Pretty soon this will all just be a memory

Soon enough, this will all just be a memory

Time carries us like tidal waves pulling out to sea

Hold onto me, hold onto me

Soon enough this will all just be a memory

I'll treasure you, so treasure me

Hold onto me, hold onto me

In our perfect memory

...Our perfect memory

Your fingertips like butterflies

This memory never dies

made me think of someone close to me who passed away.
