Wish I were a butterfly
In multicolored field
Into every perfumed face
I'd steal steal steal
Wish I were a tiny fish
In gentle sunlit stream
I'd laugh and splash and float about
And dream, dream, dream
Drift away at me
And then in deep-reflected hue
Make a thousand wishes
Come true
Wish I were a butterfly, (Wish I were an eagle)
But it's gone in my eye. (Wish I were an eagle)
From the down in peaks, (Wish I were a butterfly)
I'd fly, fly, fly
Drift away at evening
And deep reflect at you
Make a thousand wishes
Come true
