Once I loved a butterfly

Don't wonder how, don't ask me why


But I believed what I'd been told


"All things that glitter can't be gold"




Ooooo ooo yeah


All things that glitter can't be gold




Those jealous minds conspired to say


Just let that creature fly away

How can it be she has it all


Her pride is headed for a fall




Ooooo ooo yeah


All things that glitter can't be gold




Oh Lord, what races we run


Seeking our place in the sun


Reaching and hoping we'll find the right one




Now every day a new joy brings


My butterfly grew golden wings

It seems we find as we grow old


Some things that glitter may be gold




Ooooo ooo yeah


Some things that glitter may be gold




So let us mind what's there to see


Before our hearts become too cold


In spite of all that we've been told

Some things that glitter may be gold





Ooooo ooo yeah

Some things that glitter may be gold





Ooooo ooo yeah

Some things that glitter


May be gold
