Dolly Parton - Elusive Butterfly Lyrics
You might wake up some morning
To the sound of something moving past your window in the wind
And if you're quick enough to rise
You'll catch the fleeting glimpse of someone's fading shadow
Out on the new horizon
And if the sleep has left your ears
You might hear footsteps running through an open meadow
Don't be concerned, it will not harm you
It's only me pursuing something I'm not sure of
Across my dreams, with nets of wonder
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love
You might have heard my footsteps
Echo softly in the distance through the canyons of your mind
As I ran searching after something to believe in
You might have seen me runnin'
Through the long abandonned ruins of the dreams you left behind
If you remember something there
That glided past you followed close by heavy breathing
Don't be concerned, it will not harm you
It's only me pursuing something I'm not sure of
Across my dreams, with nets of wonder
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love
Across my dreams, with nets of wonder
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love
Across my dreams, with nets of wonder
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love

Love you Dolly! Beautiful, beautiful song!
l love this song it remind me of my parents they passed on and I know they are watching me in spirit so thank you dolly
Just discovered this song being done so beautifully by Dolly. Thank you !
Love all dolly's songs no one like her...
Never knew Dolly did a version of this! Always loved Bob Lind's version and, of course, Dolly is a brilliant vocalist so it's great to hear this take on a classic song.
Can anyone find a beautiful song like this? I searched but nothing could drift me away. Its tremendously beautiful. Across my dreams into my own nets of wonder.
How beautiful, its makes me realise my breath, it makes me wander through the canyons of my mind. Miss Dolly makes it wonderful, extremely wonderful.
There are some songs that have life in themselves & a vesel with a real living connnectable soul can make the connection and let it live in all its beauty through them and in total disregard of comparrison or comprtition...This song is one of those and Dolly as well as others can really bring it alive in their own beautiful way...so forget comparing bouques & just let the delights become fresh every time.
Love it.
Surprised that she recorded this, cute, but I remember Bob Lind's version so well and is hard to beat.
Very intense.
Gotta love Dolly, but Bob Lind's version still the best.
God bless both of these good people.
I'd love this song...... i hope those man they did a mistakes one day they will realize all what they did..
I'm a fan of Dolly's but this just is NOT even close to her best.....
I used to love this song as a kid! <3
this song is so old i thought i would never find it on here, been looking for it for years not remembering who sang it. tho i m not into coutry i think dolly version is very good and she does have a beautiful voice
I'm called the Queen of Karaoke in Las Vegas, as I sew and design costumes to sing with and have 184 characters. I took karaoke lessons with a college teacher, called Dennis "Baby" Richards, who taught me to sing in costume.
So for graduation day, I needed to come up with a character, so I chose, Dolly Parton, for I have the big blonde hair and the cleavage to match. I never considered it sexy or dirty for I breastfed my sons, 3 1/2 yrs, both breasts and sons.
<3 I love you dolly
that was so so so beautiful!!!!!!
While I enjoy the original I love Dolly's version.
i think dolly sings this better. big fan!!! XD
There are none more fitting than the Brilliant &
Beautiful Dolly Parton to sing this. A natural born gifted poet and songwriter herself. So similar to her own songs - Beautiful Butterfly that she is x
Never heard this version before.
Thank you.
Whoa. First time hearing this -hits favorite button- This is an amazing song!
Beautiful rendition of Bob Lind's song. It makes me cry, it's such a lovely performance - full of almost lost innocence, yet wistful and with such a total command of the material. What a great artist she is, to be sure!
