Songtext zu 'Butterflies And Beefstew' von Mike Love

I woke up this morning with tears in my eyes,
I never got to say goodbye,
I never got to tell you I,
I’ve really been trying to work it out but all
This work is always dragging me down,
Feels like I’m always running around.
I just want to see you growing tall,
Wanna be there to pick you up when you fall,
And come running whenever you call.

Cause all of these moments they carry me through,
They make me feel warm and fuzzy inside,
And I can’t help but swell up with pride.
When I think of the bridges you crossed
Just to be who you are today
The obstacles that stood in your way
That you conquered

And when I get caught up and I need something
To cut me back down to size,
I just look in your beautiful eyes and I realize.
That money comes and money goes
But in this life all
I know is you ain’t got nothing
If you ain’t got something called love.

Life is a moment a blink of an eye,
If you don’t grab it it passes you by,
I never could quite understand why.
I’m just glad I can share it, share it with you,
And see you do all of the things that you do,
And teach you how to tie up your shoes

Cause the little things mean everything
The smiles you give me give me wings to rise
Above all this pain and love is all that remains when I hold you.
And these moments we share make it hard
To bear the moments we are apart,
They pull at the strings of my heart and the teardrops start to
Faaaall, ooohh, laralaraa oooooh

Oh lord why am I always out working
When I should be playing at home with you,
I’ve spent so much time just running and so
Now I’m coming home to you
You saved my life,
Given me sight,
All that I am belongs to you.
And when I go,
Want you to know,
I’ll be watching over you
