When I was a little butterfly I wasn't off to the best start
I flew right into a big wet puddle and would not have gotten far
With my wings stuck to the pavement, and those pedestrians and cars
But you smiled on me and picked me up Cos that's the way you are, that's the way...
Well you took me in and dried me off and I wondered what I did
To deserve a spot in your loving heart now you're never getting rid of me
And I know that I could search the whole wide world Until me feet hurt
for a friend like you
And I could make it a full time task, I don't think anyone would pass
Cos I love you more than I could ever sing... more than most anything
Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall, tupperware & fudge
And your little butterfly flew crooked but you loved me just as much
And you said "take my love with you, this will always be your home,
"You may flutter off in crooked flight but you will never be alone"
And i know that I could search the whole wide world Until me feet hurt
for a friend like you
And I could make it a full time task, I don't think anyone would pass
Cos i love you more than I could ever sing... more than most anything
Maybe one day I'll be famous, maybe one day I'll be rich
And I will buy you a mansion and some german kitchen knives
But just in case that doesn't happen I wrote this song here to remind you
Of how very much I love you, so let me tell you one more time
I know that I could search the whole wide world Until me feet hurt
for a friend like you
And I could make it a full time task, I don't think anyone would pass
Cos i love you more than I could ever sing... more than most anything
