Текст Bobby Goldsboro – Butterfly For Bucky

Buck was born on a beautiful morning
And I felt very proud
Lets just say it’s 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
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

Now there are things in this universe
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
