Blue Butterfly
The Tony Rich Project Lyrics
I'd fly away with you, baby
Without a fear that they'd catch me
I'm not like all the insects that follow you
But you charmed the trees when you left me
And I found you there lately
But only fine butterflies can fall
The cord on the leaves saves
If you die, it could hurt me
You'd never know that I loved you
'Cause you'd get away
It can rain on the morning dew
But not the day I look for you
You won't find me around, when it rains
So please, make your way back home
Please, make your way back home to me
Blue butterfly is what I need
Flowers that bloom in day will fade
Before your eyes
Please, make your way back home to me
In my cocoon, you'll find a peace
Blue butterfly is what you see
Within your dreams
You see this world's for the living
Ultraviolet, twelve feet I'm givin'
If I touch you
Would you show me to the blooms?
So you ask why, I fly high
I wanna take you on a ride
On my own, solar powered wing glide
Give me your mind
Give me feed, let me eat you
Let my wings be so full of you
Make my path, the sunlight
I wanna live right
You can float but you can't hide
It's not easy when my flight is right
You won't find me around when there's rain
So please, make your way back home
Please, make your way back home to me
Blue butterfly is what I need
Flowers that bloom in day will fade
Before your eyes
Please, make your way back home to me
In my cocoon, you'll find a peace
Blue butterfly is what you see
Within your dreams
We should make our bed upon the leaves
With your soul in the air
The sun in its glare
There's no way I'll fly alone

Tony Rich got his start in the music industry as a staff writer at LaFace Records. While there, Rich penned hits for Boyz II Men, Johnny Gill, TLC and Toni Braxton.
While living in Detroit, Rich started playing in jazz fusion and soul bands and worked with local Detroit songwriters. It was at this time that John Salley, Detroit Pistons player and record producer, encouraged Rich to work with his artists and to even make his own tracks.
Meeting with R&B singer Pebbles, Tony Rich was introduced to her then-husband L.A. Reid. As co-founder of LaFace Records, Reid convinced Rich to move to Atlanta and to begin writing and producing for established acts. One of Rich's first projects was a session with Elton John and Sounds of Blackness for a Curtis Mayfield tribute LP. He then expanded his portfolio to include work with the previously mentioned stars.
In early 1996, Rich made his solo debut with the cd Words and the hit single Nobody Knows, which made it to number 2 on the top 100. Both the album and single went platinum and in 1997, Tony Rich won the Grammy for Best Male R&B album. The album featured two Grammy-nominated singles, Like A Woman and Nobody Knows.
The album was followed up in 1998 by Birdseye which, while critically praised, failed to generate much commercial success. Rich seemingly disappeared from the music world for several years after his album's release.
In 2003, Rich came back on the scene with the album Resurrected. Carrying a very different style this time around, the album featured Rich rocking out on the guitar as well as singing smooth ballads.
In 2006, Rich released a fourth album, Pictures. The album contains snapshots of a relationship, and is far more in the veins of his earlier works.
In 2008, he released his fifth album, Exist through Hidden Beach Recordings. Originally it was set for release on September 16, however it was pushed back to September 23, 2008. The album features download-only single, Part the Waves.
