Miley Cyrus – Butterfly Fly Away lyrics
You tuck me in,
Turn out the light
Kept me safe and sound at night
Little girls depend on things like that

Brushed my teeth and combed my hair
Had to drive me everywhere
You were always there when I looked back

You had to do it all alone
Make a living, make a home
Must have been as hard as it could be

And when I couldn't sleep at night
Scared things wouldn't turn out right
You would hold my hand and sing to me

Caterpillar in the tree, how you wonder who you'll be
Can't go far but you can always dream
Wish you may and wish you might
Don't you worry hold on tight.
I promise you there will come a day
Butterfly Fly Away
Butterfly Fly Away (butterfly fly away)


Flap your wing now you can't stay
Take those dreams and make them all come true
Butterfly Fly Away (butterfly fly away)
We been waiting for this day
All along and know just what to do
Butterfly,
Butterfly,
Butterfly,
Butterfly Fly Away

(Butterfly Fly Away)

    This song reminds me of me and my dad. My mother left us.(she thought that me and my dad were worthless) so she left for another man. My dad lost his job when I was 2, and he didn't have enough money to take care of me. Times were hard for me. Me and my dad lived on the streets. We once didn't eat for 2 weeks! But then a miracle happened, some random lady came up to us and gave us enough money! I remember all those times.

    When I feel so sad or think that I'm in so bad case I know that my mom always on my side, she is the reason for me to live n thanks to my mom I have a good education n I have everything I want, everything not means money or somethings like that, everything means love for me n while my mom combing my hair I'm thinking that her hands are very good healer on my skin n when she looks my eyes I know that I'm in safe. N I have lot of things to tell her.
    But when she is sorry I want to be healer of her n I recall that how she is working for me n how she is feeling aches to work so hard for me n for my brothers n in that case I'm feeling so bad myself than she is. İ love you mom,.

I know this s0ng is touching but you all always make Miley bad. Some says "MILEY,U ROCK" and others "I HATE MILEY, GET A GRIP!" so why did you look 4 this song lyrics? Answer that miley likers and miley haters! Miley fan16 is a liar! You cann0t use this s0ng and win 1st prize bcoz this song is slow, yes its beautiful to sing,.,., oh maybe the judjes just forgot the name of the good singer so they just put ur name on it. Maybe singing contest in the house! Lol that really is funny. So be serious in putting meanings. Ok?
