Chorus 1:
If he can care for little butterflies,
Why can't he care for me?
If he can stare for hours at April skies,
Why can't he stare at me?
If he can talk to the daisies in the dell,
And spell "I love you" to a tree;
If he can care for all these little things,
Why can't he care for me?
Chorus 2:
If he can care for little butterflies,
Why can't he care for me?
If he can stare for hours at April skies,
Why can't he stare at me?
If he can talk to the daisies in the dell,
And spell "I love you" to a tree;
If he can care for all these little things,
Why can't he care for me?
Butterflies!
April skies!
If he can care for all these little things,
Why can't he care for me?
