Now I know I seem to get the message
That is something I could never do.
I could never be the one to hurt you.
I'm just trying to make my whole life through
You lived inside me
You caused me sorrow
And I should forgive you everything
I cannot give you my love
No matter how much you cry
Everything you say and do
Feel like a lie.
Always be in your world
No matter how far you fly
To the moon and back and back (and back)
And back (and back)
I cannot give you my love
But I strive.
And we are oceans apart
But I follow my heart.
There is nothing, nothing that I would rather be.
I understand you,
You've got to be free
you and me
So fly away, butterfly.
Take it to your journey's end.
You are here today and gone tomorrow,
But I will always be your friend.
Blessed are the souls who love each other
And I would never let the story die.
And I fought to give you everything,
I cannot
I cannot give you my love
No matter how much you pray (how much you pray)
Everything you say and do
Send me away (send me away)
I'll always be in your world
Or what your world is to you
To the moon and back and back (and back)
And back (and back) and back (and back)
I cannot give you my love
But I do
And all the oceans will roll
You will find me no more
There is no one, no one I would rather see
But I understand you
You've got to be free
I cannot give you my love
No matter how much you cry
Everything you say and do
Feel like a lie.
Always be in your world
No matter how far you fly
To the moon and back and back (and back)
And back (and back)
I cannot give you my love
But I strive.
So fly away, butterfly.
Take it to your journey's end.
You are here today and gone tomorrow,
But I will always be your friend.
to the moon and back and back (and back)
And back (and back)
