Just Like a Butterfly by Annette Hanshaw Lyrics

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

With a little drop of rain
Patter on my window pane
All the world is dark and gloomy
No one gives affection to me
Wish that I could fly away
To somebody gone today
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

Give me the sun again
Caught in the rain
That's all
