MARIAH CAREY

7

Verse 1

ooh ooh

When you love someone so deep

That they become your life

It's easy to succumb to overwhelming fears inside

Blindly I imagined I could

Keep you under glass

Now I understand to hold you

I must open up my hands and watch you rise

Chorus

Spread your wings and prepare to fly

For you have become a butterfly (Oooh)

Fly abandonedly into the sun

If you shall return to me

We truly were meant to be, so spread your wings and fly

Butterfly

Verse 2

I have learned that beauty

Has to flourish in the light

Wild horses run unbridled

Or their spirit dies

You have given me the courage

To be all that I can

And I truly feel your heart will

Lead you back to me when you're

Ready to land

Chorus

Spread your wings and prepare to fly

For you have become a butterfly (Oooh)

Fly abandonedly into the sun

If you shall return to me, we truly were meant to be

So spread your wings and fly (spread your wings and fly)

Butterfly (butterfly)

Bridge

I can't pretend these tears

Aren't overflowing steadily

I can't prevent this hurt from

Almost overtaking me

But I will stand and say goodbye (stand and say goodbye)

For you'll never be mine

Until you know the way it feels to fly

Chorus

Spread your wings and prepare to fly

For you have become a butterfly (Oooh)

Fly abandonedly into the sun (fly to the sun)

If you shall return to me (I will know you're mine)

We truly were meant to be (spread your wings and fly)

So spread your wings and fly

Butterfly (my butterfly)

Chorus

Spread your wings and prepare to fly

For you have become a butterfly

Fly abandonedly into the sun

If you shall return to me

We truly were meant to be (you and I)

So spread your wings and fly (spread your wings and fly)

Butterfly

So flutter through the sky

Butterfly

Fly

Spread your wings and fly

Butterfly.
