Child To Butterfly Lyrics

My heart pounding like a train on a track

As I step forward with a beat to look back

At the home I've known for so many years

The love, laughter, celebrations and tears

It's gone so fast. Where'd it all go?

Now you're waiting for me at the church and I know

What I'm feeling is butterflies and they will soon go

And a new life for me starts today

Please father don't let me trip

As my friends fuss round me, the memories are slipping by

Child to bride. Single to wife

The car it takes me to a new way of life

It's gone so fast. Where'd it all go?

Now you're waiting for me at the church and I know

What I'm feeling is butterflies and they will soon go

And a new life for me starts today

A pause at the doorway and take a deep breath

Now we are moving. My nerves have all left

I see you smiling. The moment is near

I take your hand as Dad wipes off a tear

It's gone so fast. Where'd it all go?

Now you're here with me at the church and I know

A child is now a butterfly the girl is now grown

And a new life for me starts today

And a new life for us starts today
