Butterflies in Alfalfa Fields

 

Butterfles in alfalfa hay

a little girl runs today

waves of yellow in the blue

and little feet wet with dew

a cotton dress in the breeze

little purple flowers and clover leaves

 

Chase after us without a care

 and let the wind blow through your hair

Run, follow, stretch out your hand

Try and catch us if you can

You get so close we have to yield'

Butterflies in alfalfa fields

 

Little girl what is your plan

if you catch us if you can

Will you catch us - we'll take our chance

try and catch us and learn to dance

Come follow us and spred your wings

We'll make you happy and want to sing

 

We'll show you flowers in the sun

and lucky clover where you run

Dip, turn, glide and spin

We'll teach you how to catch the wind

What's better on a summer's day

than spread your wings and fly away

 

The hands of time go round and round

Blonde may someday turn to brown

The wide wide world will make you roam

but may your dreams always take you home

to butterflies in alfalfa hay

where a little girl flew away

 

Someday a baby will be at your breast

the world's exictements made manifest

for in your arms your dreams will bloom

the dreams that always take you home

where butterflies are waiting to play

and your little one will run someday

 

Chase after us without a care

and let the wind blow through your hair

Run, follow and stretch out your hand

try and catch us if you can

You get so close we have to yield

butterflies in alfalfa fields

 

Little one what is your plan

if you catch us if you can

Will you catch us, we'll take our chance

Try to catch us and learn to dance

Come follow us and spread your wings

We'll make you happy and want to sing

 

We'll show you flowers in the sun

and lucky clover where you run

Dip, turn, glide nd spin

We'll teach you how to catch the wind

What's better to do on a summer's day

than spread your wings and fly away
