Dolly Parton - Love Is Like a Butterfly Lyrics

Love is like a butterfly 

As soft and gentle as a sigh 

The multicolored moods of love are like its satin wings 

Love makes your heart feel strange inside 

It flutters like soft wings in flight 

Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing

I feel it when you're with me 

It happens when you kiss me 

That rare and gentle feeling that I feel inside 

Your touch is soft and gentle 

Your kiss is warm and tender 

Whenever I am with you I think of butterflies

Love is like a butterfly 

The multicolored moods of love are like its satin wings 

Love makes your heart feel strange inside 

It flutters like soft wings in flight 

Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing

Your laughter brings me sunshine 

Everyday is spring time 

And I am only happy when you are by my side 

How precious is this love we share 

How very precious, sweet and rare 

Together we belong like daffodils and butterflies

Love is like a butterfly 

As soft and gentle as a sigh 

The multicolored moods of love are like its satin wings 

Love makes your heart feel strange inside 

It flutters like soft wings in flight 

Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing

Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing
