The Irish Rovers - Catch Another Butterfly lyrics

Do you remember days not so very long ago When the world was run By people twice your size And the days were full of laughter And the nights were full of stars And when you grew tired Well you could close your eyes Oh yes the stars were there for wishing And the wind was there for kites And the morning sun was there For rise and shine And even if the sniffles kept you home From school in bed Well you couldn't hardly stay there nine And I wonder has the smell of morning faded What happened to the robin's song That sparkled in the sky Where's all the water gone That tumbled down the stream Will I ever catch another bu*terfly Do you remember campouts Right in your own backyard Just wondering how aeroplanes could fly And the hours you spent just playing with A funny old rock you had found With crystal specks as blue as all the sky Now I watch my son he's playing with his toys He's happy and I give him all I can But I Can't help feeling Just a little tingly inside When I hear him say he want's to be a man
