"Butterflies" lyrics

Yesterday you said my name
I've heard it called a thousand times but you don't make it sound the same
My future flashed before my eyes
And something told me I'd be fine with your shoulder next to mine

There when the world gets hard to take
I'll be a lighthouse, so safe

When you're tired of getting older
The cracks begin to show up
There's creases round your eyes for all to see
And when memories disappear
Well I'll still hold them dear
'Cause butterflies don't fly away with years, hmm

Today you woke me from a dream
But how could I ever be mad when you're the first thing that I see?
I went downstairs and made you tea
When you forgot and it went cold I replaced it secretly

All of the thing that bother me
You make 'em fade so easy

When you're tired of getting older
The cracks begin to show up
There's creases round your eyes for all to see
And when memories disappear
Well I'll still hold them dear
'Cause butterflies don't fly away with years

With years, with years
With years, with years...

When it rains the kitchen
When you change your religion
When you're sick of forgivin'

When you're starting to weather
And you're not getting better
And you can't quite remember

When you're tired of getting older
The cracks begin to show up
There's creases round your eyes for all to see
And when memories disappear
Well I'll still hold them dear
'Cause butterflies don't fly away with years
'Cause butterflies don't fly away with years, hmm
