When the sun has gone to sleep,
And the children all dream deep,
Little one can stay a while,
And gaze upon the stars’ bright smile.
Sweet little butterfly girl,
So gentle and serene,
Keep your heart forever pure,
And know you’re never alone.
Father, tell me, far and wide,
Are there worlds beyond the sky?
He whispers softly, calm and true,
There’s still so much for me and you.
Sweet little butterfly girl,
So gentle and serene,
Keep your heart forever pure,
And know you’re never alone.
Sunlight warms the forest glade,
Soft green moss beneath her laid.
A tiny voice calls out her name,
Little star, it’s time to play.
See the Watervlinder shine,
Wings of water, pure and fine.
She brings life to streams and trees,
Dancing lightly on the breeze
. Sweet little butterfly girl,
So gentle and serene,
Keep your heart forever pure,
And know you’re never alone.
Golden dust drifts from the sky,
Every leaf and flower shines nearby.
Nimfs of water, nimfs of wood,
Fill the forest with joy and good.
Mountains high, waters fall,
Diamonds sparkle, touching all.
A thousand wings laugh in the sun,
Guiding her home when day is done.
. Sweet little butterfly girl,
So gentle and serene,
Keep your heart forever pure,
And know you’re never alone.
Lie on leaves, soft and warm,
Angels hum a gentle song.
Close your eyes, drift to sleep,
Love will guard you, safe and deep.
. Sweet little butterfly girl,
So gentle and serene,
Keep your heart forever pure,
And know you’re never alone.
