Butterfly Love
尚雯婕 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Love your mind
Immortality beyond the time
Every moment seems so kind
Only if I could be by your side
Butterfly
You're too beautiful to criticize
Listen to what you hear inside
One day I'll make you all mine
Spreading out your wings
And wave across the wind
Like mother whistling
Like tainted tambourine
In the river over there
It's where you wet your hair
A daisy in the hand
With you I couldn't share
Rather be waiting than escape
For the sound of heaven far away
It makes me believe
You make me believe
To love you like a bird loves the sky
To love you like the shore loves the tide
And every time I look in your eyes
I see a moth darts into the fire
As fragile as you
Withering young soul
Sentimental
Scent of a cloudless clime
A butterfly
A butterfly love
To love you like a bird loves the sky
To love you like the shore loves the tide
And every time I look in your eyes
I see a moth darts into the fire
As fragile as you
Withering young soul
Sentimental
Scent of a cloudless clime




A butterfly
A butterfly love

It's the anthem for FDU in 21 century. The spirit of FDU and the motto from our pioneers back from 1905 makeup this song. As an alumni of FDU, I love this song.
