BUTTERFLY~ORIGINAL

I WROTE THIS SONG LAST SUMMER AND ALWAYS HEARD A NICE DRUM BEAT TO THIS IN MY HEAD ...WELL I CREATED A SOLID DRUM BEAT FOR THIS AND MADE A LITTLE BASS LINE WITH THE FRIST TWO STRINGS ON MY STRAT TO GIVE IT A BASS LINE GROOVE FOR THIS SONG TO RIDE TO.
THIS SONG WAS WRITTEN ATER A PHONE CONVERSTATION WITH A FRIEND WHO HAD JUST PUT HER DOG ASLEEP. THE DAY SHE PUT THE DOG DOWN SHE SPENT THE AFTERNOON ON THE GROUNDS OF THE PET CEMETERY TO SAY HER GOODBYES WHILE A BEAUTIFUL MONARCH BUTTERFLY FOLLOWED THEM AROUND ALL DAY AND LANDED ON BOTH THE DOG AND HER MANY TIMES. SHE TOOK PEACE IN THIS THAT THIS WAS A SIGN THAT IT WAS TIME TO PUT HER DOG DOWN WHO WAS SUFFERING FROM BONE CANCER...THREE DAYS LATER AFTER SHE PUT HER DOG DOWN..SHE WAS MORNING HER DOGS PASSING OVER A CUP OF COFFEE ON HER PORCH BACK IN THE CITY SOME 40 MILES AWAY WHEN A MONARCH BUTTERFLY APPEARED AND LANDED RIGHT NEXT TO HER AND STAYED WITH HER FOR 20 MINUTES...SHE TOOK MANY PICTURES OF IT WITH HER PHONE AND CRIED TAKING PEACE THAT THIS BUTTERFLY WAS A SIGN THAT EVERYTHING WAS ALRIGHT.

THE BUTTERFLY THEN SAID ITS GOODBYE AND FLEW AWAY...SHE WENT BACK IN THE HOUSE AFTER A GOOD TEAR WAS SHED AND SHE CAME BACK TO HER PHONE TO VIEW THE MULTIPLE CLOSE UP PICTURES SHE TOOK OF HER BUTTERFLY WITH HER IPHONE...BUT ALL SHE HAD WERE CLOSE UPS OF THE PORCH..NO BUTTERFLY IN ANY OF THE PICTURES...SHE CALLED TO TELL ME OF HOW UPSET SHE WAS... I TOLD HER WHAT DID YOU EXPECT??? YOU CANT TAKE PICTURES OF ANGELS...YOUR DOG IS NOW AN ANGEL AND SHE APPEARED AS A BUTTERFLY TO COMFORT YOU...I HUNG UP THE PHONE AND PICKED UP MY GUITAR AND THIS SONG WAS BORN. AS I WROTE THIS SONG MY DAD SAT BY AND LISTENED FOR HE WAS MORNING THE PASSING OF HIS LIFE LONG BEST FRIEND (MURPHY) JUST ONE DAY BEFORE. SO THIS SONG HAS MULTIPLE MEANINGS FOR HER, HIM AND EVEN MYSELF AFTER THE THEN RECENT PASSING MY OWN DOG HUNTER...

THE LINE IN THIS SONG..."LIKE MANS BEST FRIEND.
YOU SEE IT IN HIS EYES."

REFERS TO MY SHEDDING TEARS OVER HIS FRIEND AS WROTE THIS SONG AS WELL AS ME REMEMBERING THE LOOK IN MY OWN DOGS EYES WHEN I WOULD SIT WITH HIM...

THIS SONG WAS WRITTEN FOR AND ABOUT

GYPSY~(JENNIFERS BEST FRIEND)
MURPHY~((MY DADS BEST FRIEND)
AND HUNTER.~(MY BEST FRIEND)

THIS SONG IS MY CIRCLE OF LIFE.

ALL THAT'S YOUNG
WILL GROW OLD WITH TIME
LIKE THE GRAPE ALONE
TURNS INTO FINE WINE
THIS IS GODS PLAN
LIVE.LAUGH. LOVE, AND DIE.

LIKE THE BUTTERFLY FLIES

WHEN A CHILD IS BORN
LIFE SHINES FROM HIS EYES
A GLIMER OF HOPE
FOR THE WORLD TO FIND.
OR A DOG IN PLAY
CHASING HIS TAIL AWAY

LIKE THE BUTTERFLY FLIES
WITH NO DIRECTION IN MIND
FLY ON BUTTERFLY
FLY ON
FLY ON

PEOPLE TOUCH OUR LIVES
IN GODS SWEET LULLABY
THIS GIFT IS HIS DESIGN
THE LIGHT THAT MAKES US SHINE.
LIKE MANS BEST FRIEND.
YOU SEE IT IN HIS EYES.

LIKE THE BUTTERFLY FLIES
WITH NO DIRECTION IN MIND
FLY ON BUTTERFLY
FLY ON
FLY ON


THE QUESTIONS ARISE
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE DIE?
IS THERE HEAVEN ABOVE?
OR IS GOD A LIE?
WE ARE ALL CONNECTED.
LEAVING AT DIFFERENT TIMES.
WE WILL MEET AGAIN.
ON THE OTHER SIDE.
IN HEAVEN ABOVE.
WHERE THE BUTTERFLYS FLY.

SO THE ANSWER ALONE
IS TO JUST OPEN YOUR EYES

IT LIES IN THE BUTTERFLY'S FLY
WITH NO DIRECTION IN MIND
FLY ON SWEET BUTTERFLY
FLY ON
FLY ON
FLY ON
MY SWEET BUTTERFLY.
