I saw a foreign angel

She brushed across my dream

She didn’t stay to kiss me

She’s the prettiest girl I’ve ever seen



And I wonder why she called me

Is it ‘cause I’m old and weak?

And I wonder if it’s time to die

To fold my wings and go to sleep



So, I see you on a rainbow in the sky

I see you reach down and touch the sky

I see you on a rainbow in the sky

I see you my beautiful butterfly



I’ve always been a wild man

But you don’t seem to care

Your rainbow wings envelope me

And carry me through the open air



And now my friends are cryin’

We’re brothers don’t you see

There’s more out there in rainbow land

For a butterfly and me



So, I see you on a rainbow in the sky

I see you reach down and touch the sky

I see you on a rainbow in the sky

I see you my beautiful butterfly

(butterfly, butterfly)



I see you on a rainbow in the sky

I see you reach down and touch the sky

I see you on a rainbow in the sky

I see you my beautiful butterfly



I see you on a rainbow in the sky

I see you reach down and touch the sky

I see you on a rainbow in the sky

I see you my beautiful butterfly

My beautiful butterfly

My butterfly

My butterfly
