"BUTTERFLIES ARE FREE"

*************************************************************
*************************************************************
Greetings and Salutations to All my Kith and Kin and All the Ships in Outer Space:

For the best effect, please be sure to enjoy watching, in "FULL SCREEN" mode, my homemade amateur video recording of ME (!), performing, by ear, "BUTTERFLIES ARE FREE", as I accompany myself by strumming simple chords on my Yamaha G-130A classical guitar.



"BUTTERFLIES ARE FREE"

Words and Music by:
STEVE SCHWARTZ

VERSE # 01:
I knew the day you met me,
I could love you if you let me.
But, you touched my cheek
And said how easy
You'd forget me.
You said,
"Butterflies are free,
And so are we."

VERSE # 02:
On that velvet morning
When our love was borning,
I said it wouldn't hurt me
If you left me without warning.
I said,
"Butterflies are free,
And so are we."

BRIDGE:
And you made me understand
Right from the start,
I could hold your gentle hand,
But never hold your heart.

VERSE # 03:
So, why are we crying?
Were our brave words only lying,
When we both agreed
There'd be no tears
In finally goodbying?
Because
Butterflies are free,
So why aren't we?

Thank you.
