Lyrics
The winter came and left its' scars
Shadows of a broken heart
And I know the spring will come some day
But you came and stole my heart away
And now you're here but you cannot stay
You're gonna spread your wings
And fly away
And I'll say goodbye just for a time
Soon there's gonna come a day
But for now, butterfly fly away
Winter fades and spring appears
Flowers grow where there once was tears
A fragile rose, you're gone too soon
Oh I'm gonna miss you
We had to say goobye before we said hello
