When you were only fine you caught a butterfly. You held it for a while it made you smile you caught a butterfly. Finally it flew away you cried and cried that day.
Out in New Mexico, many long years ago. There in a shack on the desert, one night in a storm. Amid streaks of lightnin' and loud desert thunder. To a young Mexican couple, a baby was born.
When your baby says goodbye. And make you feel like you wanna die. That's the real beginnin' of. Someone fallin' out of love. . When your baby goes away.
