STELLA STEVENS:
Butterfly mornin's
Butterfly mornin's
Butterfly mornin's
And wildflower afternoons

Catch me there 
Gonna get me there 
If I have to climb all the mountains on the moon 
I'll be in butterfly mornin's 
Butterfly mornin's
Butterfly mornin's 
And wildflower afternoons 

On the wings of a butterfly
I woke to my mornin'
On the wings of a sunflower
On the day I was born in
On the petals of a wild flower 
With the sun high at noon 
I was walkin' in butterfly mornin's 
And wildflower afternoons 

BOTH:
I'll find you with a cantaloupe
Down there sittin' on  seed
Gonna trace your footsteps
Underneath the weeds
Gonna string you up some dandelions
You're gonna wear 'em as beads
You will be dancin' in lace wings and dimples
On a big city sign that reads

Butterfly mornin's
Butterfly mornin's
Butterfly mornin's
And wildflower afternoons

Catch me there 
Gonna get me there 
If I have to climb all the mountains on the moon 
I'll be in butterfly mornin's 
Butterfly mornin's
Butterfly mornin's 
And wildflower afternoons
