Catch Another Butterfly Lyrics - Sesame Street

Do you remember days not so very long ago 

When the world was run by people twice your size? 

And the days were full of laughter 

And the nights were full of stars 

And when you grew tired you could close your eyes 

Yes the stars were there for wishing 

And the wind was there for kites 

And the morning sun was there for rise and shine 

And even if the sniffles kept you 

Home from school in bed 

You couldn't hardly stay there after nine 

And I wonder if the smell of morning's faded 

What happened to the robin's song 

That sparkled in the sky? 

Where's all the water gone 

That tumbled down a stream? 

Will I ever catch another butterfly? 

Do you remember campouts right in your own backyard? 

Wondering how airplanes could fly 

And the hours spent just playin' 

With a funny rock you found 

With crystal specks as blue as all the sky 

And I wonder if the smell of morning's faded 

What happened to the robin's song 

That sparkled in the sky? 

Where's all the water gone 

That tumbled down a stream? 

Will I ever catch another butterfly? 

Now I watch my son, he's playin' with his toys 

He's happy, I give him all I can 

But I can't help feelin' 

Just a little tingly inside 

When I hear him say he wants to be a man 

And I wonder if the smell of morning's faded 

What happened to the robin's song 

That sparkled in the sky? 

Where's all the water gone 

That tumbled down a stream? 

Will I ever catch another butterfly? 

Will I ever catch another butterfly?
