  • Greenfields where we used to wander
    Purple valleys, near my home
    We would play there, beneath the sky
    And then I kissed you, butterfly

    Young girl, you came restless
    And you left me here to cry
    My big teardrops, in red pastures
    For I loved you, butterfly

    Butterfly, yeah
    I dream about you, lonely without you, butterfly
    Butterfly, yeah
    Each night I'm sleeping, your face goes creeping, butterfly

    Greenfields where we used to wander
    Purple valleys, near my home
    We would play there beneath the sky
    And I kissed you, butterfly

    Butterfly, yeah
    I dream bout you, lonely without you, butterfly
    Butterfly, yeah
    Each night I'm sleeping, your face goes creeping, butterfly Writer/s: Barry Alan Gibb, Maurice Ernest Gibb, Robin Hugh Gibb
