(Music: Rudolf Schenker, Marti Frederiksen; Lyrics: Klaus Meine)

In the temple of gods

The day had come to come together

In the early morning sun

They saw that girl that come to heaven



They ask her 'bout life on earth

If it was getting any better

She told 'em someone took her life

If they could send her back

Just one more time

She knew that someone feels so blue



Wouldn't it be nice ...Hold on

To spread the wings and fly ...Don't kill the butterfly

To see him one more time ...Hold on

To be a yellow butterfly ...Don't kill the butterfly



He's been sitting on the bay

Lost inside a cloud of darkness

When I saw the butterfly

Dancing in the wind

The story goes

He knew that she was still so close



Wouldn't it be nice ...Hold on

To spread the wings and fly ...Don't kill the butterfly

To see him one more time ...Hold on

To be a yellow butterfly ...Don't kill the butterfly
