A Butterfly for Bucky Lyrics & Tabs by Bobby Goldsboro
A Butterfly for Bucky
guitar chords lyrics
Buck was born on a beautiful morning
And I felt very proud
Lets just say its not every day
That you see me cry out loud
Hair like sunshine, a smile as warm
And the prettiest eyes you'll find
One day last spring my lady and I
Found out those eyes were blind
Have a butterfly for me daddy
They sound so pretty to me
Tell me about the butterfly
And all the things you see
Well over there Buck lies a beautiful meadow
With the colors of gold and tan
With the smell of hay and the sound of crickets
Well over there Buck lies a beautiful meadow
With the colors of gold and tan
With the smell of hay and the sound of crickets
Here Buck, take my hand
And I wish you could see that big oak tree
With its limbs reaching up to the sky
And a bed of flowers growing at its feet
And a big yellow butterfly
Save a butterfly for me daddy
Before they disappear
Save a butterfly for me daddy
And on his cheek was a tiny tear
So we packed up our bags our hopes and our dreams
And we all went to town that day
I sneaked off to the hospital chapel
I got down on my knees and I prayed
Save a butterfly for my boy lord
I sure need nothing for me
Except an angel of joy to touch him
The way that he's touched me
Now there are things in this uni
That we just don't understand
And through an open window came a butterfly
To land on Buck's small hand
The doctor's face was strangely white
As if it just couldn't be
But the light was in my boys face
Daddy he said, I can see
Save a butterfly for us Bucky
We're all so blind it seems
For we've not seen the magic
In the power of a little boy's dreams
