Once I loved a butterfly Don't wonder how, don't ask me why But I believed what I'd been told "All things that glitter can't be gold"
Ooooo ooo yeah All things that glitter can't be gold
Those jealous minds conspired to say Just let that creature fly away How can it be she has it all Her pride is headed for a fall
Ooooo ooo yeah All things that glitter can't be gold
Oh Lord, what races we run Seeking our place in the sun Reaching and hoping we'll find the right one
Now every day a new joy brings My butterfly grew golden wings It seems we find as we grow old Some things that glitter may be gold
Ooooo ooo yeah Some things that glitter may be gold
So let us mind what's there to see Before our hearts become too cold In spite of all that we've been told Some things that glitter may be gold
Ooooo ooo yeah Some things that glitter may be gold
Ooooo ooo yeah Some things that glitter May be gold
