Here I am, lonely,

Tired and lonely,

Crying for home in vain,

Just like a butterfly that's caught in the rain!

Longing for flowers,

Dreaming of hours

Back in the sun-kissed lane,

Just like a butterfly that's caught in the rain!

I know that all of the world is cheery

By that old cottage door,

Why are my wings so weary?

I can't fly any more!

Here I am praying,

Brokenly saying,

"Give me the sun again!",

Just like a butterfly that's caught in the rain!

When it's raining from the sky,

And I see a butterfly,

I can almost hear him sighing

'Cause he has to stop his flying.

I can easily sympathise

With those helpless butterflies!

Here I am, lonely,

Tired and lonely,

Crying for home in vain,

Just like a butterfly that's caught in the rain!

Longing for flowers,

Dreaming of hours

Back in the sun-kissed lane,

Just like a butterfly that's caught in the rain!

I know that all of the world is cheery

By that old cottage door,

Why are my wings so weary?

I can't fly any more!

Here I am praying,

Brokenly saying,

"Give me the sun again!",

Just like a butterfly that's caught in the rain!
