I can hear you fall asleep
silently crying yourself into the night
I try to hold you, try to reach you
try to comfort, ease your pain
Let me hold you, let me love you
let me put you sound asleep
Let me take me let me take you
Let me put us both asleep
Let us sleep until our days are done
till we wake up in another life
We will wake up still together
yet no worries, never look behind
We will wake up being caterpillars
eating ourselves into our sleep
I will make us a cocoon, and hold
hold and cherish you inside
I will give you all the love and care
everything you need to bloom
And one day you’ll be ready to
to go out and show the world around
You will show the world your beauty
the beauty that had always been within
now on the display of your wings
Go around my butterfly
We will fly and fly together
in our full pallet of colors
Bright and clear and never bored
we will keep each other till we go
So go to sleep now dear
I will wake you up a butterfly
