When I was a little butterfly, I wasn't off to the best start
I flew right into a big wet puddle and would not have gotten far
Little wings stuck to the pavement amidst pedestrians and cars
But you smiled and picked me up cause that's the way you are
That's the way
Well you took me in and dried me off and I wondered what I did
To deserve a spot in your loving heart, now you're never getting rid of me

And I could search the whole wide world until my feet hurt
For a friend like you
And I could make it a full time task, I don't think anyone would pass
Cause I love you more than I could ever sing
More than most anything

Winter, spring, summer, fall, tupperware, and fudge
And your little butterfly flew crooked but you loved me just as much
And you said, "Take my love with you, this will always be your home
You may flutter off in crooked flight, but you will never be alone"

And I know I would have to search the whole wide world until my feet hurt
For a friend like you
And I could make it a full time task, I don't think anyone would pass
Cause I love you more than I could ever sing
More than most anything

Well maybe one day I'll be famous and maybe one day I'll be rich
And I will buy you a mansion and some German kitchen knives
But just in case that doesn't happen, I wrote this song here to remind you
Of how very much I love you, so let me tell you one more time

I know that I would have to search the whole wide world until my feet hurt
For a friend like you
And I could make it a full time task, I don't think anyone would pass
Cause I love you more than I could ever sing
More than most anything
More than most anything
More than most anything
