I saw a foreign angel
She brushed across my dream
She didn't stay to kiss me
She's the prettiest girl I've ever seen

And I wonder why she called me
Is it 'cause I'm old and weak?
And I wonder if it's time to die
To fold my wings and go to sleep

So, I see you on a rainbow in the sky
I see you reach down and touch the sky
I see you on a rainbow in the sky
I see you my beautiful butterfly

I've always been a wild man
But you don't seem to care
Your rainbow wings envelope me
And carry me through the open air

And now my friends are cryin'
We're brothers don't you see
There's more out there in rainbow land
For a butterfly and me

So, I see you on a rainbow in the sky
I see you reach down and touch the sky
I see you on a rainbow in the sky
I see you my beautiful butterfly
(butterfly, butterfly)

I see you on a rainbow in the sky
I see you reach down and touch the sky
I see you on a rainbow in the sky
I see you my beautiful butterfly

I see you on a rainbow in the sky
I see you reach down and touch the sky
I see you on a rainbow in the sky
I see you my beautiful butterfly
My beautiful butterfly
My butterfly
My butterfly…
