When I was a little butterfly, I wasn't off to the best start 
I flew right into a big wet puddle and would not have gotten far 
Little wings stuck to the pavement amidst pedestrians and cars 
But you smiled and picked me up cause that's the way you are 
That's the way 

Well you took me in and dried me off and I wondered what I did 
To deserve a spot in your loving heart, now you're never getting rid of me 
And I could search the whole wide world until my feet hurt 
For a friend like you 
And I could make it a full time task, I don't think anyone would pass 
Cause I love you more than I could ever sing 
More than most anything 

Winter, spring, summer, fall, tupperware, and fudge 
And your little butterfly flew crooked but you loved me just as much 
And you said, "Take my love with you, this will always be your home 
You may flutter off in crooked flight, but you will never be alone" 

And I know I would have to search the whole wide world until my feet hurt 
For a friend like you 
And I could make it a full time task, I don't think anyone would pass 
Cause I love you more than I could ever sing 
More than most anything 

Well maybe one day I'll be famous and maybe one day I'll be rich 
And I will buy you a mansion and some German kitchen knives 
But just in case that doesn't happen, I wrote this song here to remind you 
Of how very much I love you, so let me tell you one more time 

I know that I would have to search the whole wide world until my feet hurt 
For a friend like you 
And I could make it a full time task, I don't think anyone would pass 
Cause I love you more than I could ever sing 
More than most anything 
More than most anything 
More than most anything.
