Lyrics On the Wings of a Butterfly - Jimmy Scott

As I was walking deep in sorrow
Thinking about the times we'd shared
A butterfly danced 'round me
A white cloud in the evening air
And I knew that your soul
Was finally home and free
But it felt like a blessing
A message from you to me

Now you can fly
Now you can soar
So high above this world
Where troubles are no more
The time has come
To say goodbye
And let your soul go to Heaven
On the wings of a butterfly

Just a few days after
They called us to a church to pray
Loved ones gathered 'round you
To bless and send you on your way
And as I got up to speak
It suddenly caught my eye
White wings against the window
A beautiful butterfly

Now you can fly
Now you can soar
So high above this world
Where troubles are no more
This love of ours
Will never die
So let your soul go to Heaven
On the wings of a butterfly

One day, we'll meet again in Heaven
And we'll fly like that butterfly

Oh-oh whoa
