Elusive Butterfly - Petula Clark

You might wake up some mornin'

To the sound of something moving past your window in the wind

And if you’re quick enough to rise

You’ll catch the fleeting glimpse of someone’s fading shadow

Don’t be concerned, it will not harm you

It’s only me pursuing something I’m not sure of

Across my dream with nets of wonder

I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love

Out on the new horizon

You may see the floating motion of a distant pair of wings

And if the sleep has left your ears

You might hear footsteps running through an open meadow

Don’t be concerned, it will not harm you

It’s only me pursuing something I’m not sure of

Across my dream with nets of wonder

I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love
