Corinne Bailey Rae - Butterfly lyrics

In my mother's house there's a photograph
Of a day gone past always makes me laugh
There's a little girl wary of the world
She got much to learn get her fingers burnt
An affinity between you and me
Was a family said that I'd be fine
Gave me all your time and I left your side
Like a butterfly

Shower me with your love colour of everyday
You make the milk-gold Sun shine on me, yeah
Lift me up so high watch me fly away
And you give me life like a butterfly

In my mother's house there was happiness
I wrapped my myself in it was my chrysalis
As my life unfolds see a pattern through
Of you protecting me and I protecting you
What was that you'd say?
"Make your own mistakes
And when you're grown
Make sure that you remain the same"
Now I realise what was on your mind
When I left your side like a butterfly

Shower me with your love colour everyday
You make the milk-gold Sun shine on me, yeah
Lift me up so high watch me fly away
And you give me life like a butterfly

Shower me with your love colour of everyday
You make the milk-gold Sun shine on me, yeah
Lift me up so high watch me fly away
And you give me life like a butterfly
