| Lyrics |
The Butterfly ©2026 Ronald G Brown
She stormed out in a fit of tears
Her last words were, "I can't take anymore... I've had enough."
He sat there tryin' to figure it out
The fight they had - just words and little more
It wasn't nothin' much
But she came back the very next day, packed her things and just drove away
Well, he'd give his right arm to understand it
To know just what went wrong - some kind of answer
But what he'll never know...
It was just her time to go
Like the gypsy in the sky... She's a long gone butterfly
He sees her around every now and then
Tries to talk, she says, "I have so much to do... I gotta go."
He spends his nights tellin' the Lord
If he could have one miracle, he'd undo
That fight some months ago
When she came back the very next day, packed her things and just drove away
Yeah, he'd give his right arm to understand it
To know just what went wrong - some kind of answer
But what he'll never know...
It was just her time to go
Like the gypsy in the sky... She's a long gone butterfly
She don't let leavin' get to her
She hates the thought of long, sad good-byes
Her tears fall cause she knows too well
This lonely, lonely life...
And he'd still give his right arm to understand it
To know just what went wrong - some kind of answer
But what he'll never know...
It was just her time to go
Like the gypsy in the sky
She's a long gone butterfly... A long gone butterfly
His beautiful butterfly...
