Buck Owens Lyrics
"I Wish I Was a Butterfly"

(Buck Owens)

I wish, I wish, oh how I wish
I was a butterfly
I wish, I was a butterfly
Flying through the sky.

For if I was a butterfly
You'd never have made me cry
I wish, I wish, oh how I wish
I was a butterfly.

--- Instrumental ---

I wish, I was a paper kite
Flowing in the wind
For if I was a paper kite
I'd never hurt again.

I wish, I was a choo choo train
Chokin' down the track
Oh, if I was a choo choo train
I never would come back.

I wish, I wish, oh how I wish
I was a butterfly...
