Butterfly Lyrics - Greatest Hits - Mariah Carey

When you love someone so deep they become your life 

It's easy to succumb to overwhelming fears inside 

Blindly I imagined I could keep you under glass 

Now I understand to hold you I must open up my hands 

And watch you rise 

Spread your wings and prepare to fly 

For you have become a butterfly (Oooh) 

Fly abandonedly into the sun 

If you should return to me 

We truly were meant to be 

So spread your wings and fly 

Butterfly 

I have learned that beauty has to flourish in the light 

Wild horses run unbridled or their spirit dies

You have given me the courage to be all that I can 

And I truly feel your heart will lead you back to me 

When you're ready to land 

Spread your wings and prepare to fly 

For you have become a butterfly (Oooh) 

Fly abandonedly into the sun 

If you should return to me 

We truly were meant to be 

So spread your wings and fly 

Butterfly 

I can't pretend these tears aren't over flowing steadily 

I can't prevent this hurt from almost overtaking me 

But I will stand and say goodbye for you'll never be mine 

Until you know the way it feels to fly 

Spread your wings and prepare to fly 

For you have become a butterfly (Oooh) 

Fly abandonedly into the sun 

If you should return to me 

We truly were meant to be 

So spread your wings and fly 

Butterfly 

Spread your wings and prepare to fly 

For you have become a butterfly (Oooh) 

Fly abandonedly into the sun 

If you should return to me 

We truly were meant to be 

So spread your wings and fly 

Butterfly 

So flutter through the sky 

Butterfly, fly 

Spread your wings and fly 

Butterfly
