about

I wrote this song about my mom just a few months after her passing in 2017. I recorded this song with Jim Bryson in January 2022, just a few weeks after my dad passed. It was definitely a music therapy session for me.

lyrics

Butterflies

You always wore pretty things
Matching bright colours like butterfly wings
Fluttering words your voice would string
Singing you songs how I wish you would sing them no

Chorus
But Butterflies fly away don’t you?
Butterflies can’t stay when they grow old
I long to get my wings so I can fly away with you
With you,
Yeah I miss you Oh

Chrysalis moments you came to be
Flying far from family
Small unassuming you would feel
But you were always so brave to me

Chorus

Bridge
Time separates us now
Yesterday you were here
Today you had to leave
Maybe tomorrow, we’ll meet again…

Chorus

Yeah I miss you
