Butterflies and Beefstew - Mike Love

I woke up this morning with tears in my eyes

I never got to say goodbye

I never got to tell you I

I’ve really been trying to work it out

But all this work is always dragging me down

Feels like I’m always running around

I just want to see you growing tall

Wanna be there to pick you up when you fall

And come running whenever you call

Cause all of these moments they carry me through

They make me feel warm and fuzzy inside

And I can’t help but swell up with pride

When I think of the bridges you crossed

Just to be who you are today

The obstacles that stood in your way

That you conquered

And when I get caught up and I need something to cut me back down to size

I just look in your beautiful eyes and I realize

That money comes

And money goes but in this life

All I know

Is you ain’t got nothing

If you ain’t got something called Love

Life is a moment a blink of an eye

If you don’t grab it it passes you by

I never could quite understand why

I’m just glad I can share it

Share it with you

And see you do all of the things that you do

And teach you how to tie up your shoes

Cause the little things mean everything the smiles you give me give me wings to

rise above all this pain

And Love is all that remains when I hold you

And these moments we share make it hard to bear the moments we are apart

They pull at the strings of my heart

And the teardrops start to fall

Oh Lord why am I always out working when I should be playing at home with you

I’ve spent so much time just running

And so now I’m coming home to you

Money comes

And money goes but in this life

All I know

Is you ain’t got nothing

If you ain’t got something called Love

You saved my life

Given me sight

All that I am belongs to you

And when I go

Want you to know

I’ll be watching over you
