Lyrics:

  • we were in a field a mile from nowhere
  • the sun up high
  • in a field, the grass was flowin’
  • she looked me in they eye

  • hey, she said, I’ve a fantasy
  • I’ll paint you & you paint me
  • ooh, I said, what shall we be?
  • she said, I’ll be a butterfly
  • you’ll be a tree

  • green & blue & red & yellow
  • the colors dried
  • I looked at her, she looked at me
  • we laughed into the sky

  • ooh, she said, look & see!
  • I am a butterfly, you are a tree
  • yes, I said, I agree
  • you are a butterfly
  • I am a tree

  • create a day up on a mountain
  • the world below
  • time was easy, time was lazy
  • movin’ nice & slow
  • bird flyin’ off into the blue
  • troubles far away
  • sweet you were my lovely, lovely
  • on that perfect day

  • ooh, she said, I feel so free
  • I am a butterfly, you are a tree
  • yes, I said, and a lucky tree
  • of all of the forest
  • you land on me

  • (do you love me
  • baby I love you
  • when you love me
  • the way that you do)
