Lyrics
- When it’s raining from the sky
And I see a butterfly
I can almost hear him sighing
‘Cause he has to stop his flying
I can easily sympathize
With those helpless butterflies
Chorus:
Here I am, lonely, tired and lonely
Crying for home in vain
Just like a butterfly that’s caught in the rain
Longing for flowers, dreaming of hours
Back in the sun-kissed lane
Just like a butterfly that’s caught in the rain
I know that all of the world is cheery
By that old cottage door
Why are my wings so weary?
I can’t fly any more
Here I am praying, brokenly saying
“Give me the sun again”
Just like a butterfly that’s caught in the rain
- When the little drops of rain
Patter on my window pane
All the world is dark and gloomy
No one give affection to me
Wish that I could fly away
To somebody’s arms today
