I can watch from here or run alongside
Don't touch the wings of the butterfly, butterfly
Never seen such beauty in the darkest of days
Colour, grace, carefree ways, carefree ways
Only here for a few days
Only here for a few days more
Only here for a few days
Only here for a few days more
Few days more
Well what will we do?
Show me what you see
And what will we say?
Say what you think, feel how you feel, go when you go
I know I said I wouldn't cry
I know I said I wouldn't cry
Oh the day is golden, heavy and sweet
Air filled fit for an angel's feast, angel's feast
Running down the hillside, skipping round the stones, kissed by the moonlight
And now you must go, now you must go
Only here for a few days
Only here for a few days more
Only here for a few days
Only here for a few days more
Few days more
Oh what will we do?
Show me what you see
What will we say?
Say what you think, feel how you feel, go when you go
I know I said I wouldn't cry
I know I said I wouldn't cry
Oh I wonder if he knows
How precious is today
Dancing in the grasses
In his own special way, special way
