Love is like a butterfly as soft and gentle as a sigh,
G D C G D
the multicolored moods of love are like its satin wings.
Love makes your heart feel strange inside,
G A D
it flutters like soft wings in flight.

Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing.
D G A D
I feel it when you're with me, it happens when you kiss me,
G D E A
that rare and gentle feeling that I feel inside.
D G A D
Your touch is soft and gentle, your kisses warm and tender,
G D A D
whenever I am with you, I think of butterflies.

Your laughter brings me sunshine, every day is springtime,
G D E A
and I am only happy, when you are by my side.

How precious is this love we share,

how very precious, sweet and rare,

together we belong like daffodils and butterflies.
